Rosie's body discovered twenty years after she disappeared. Francis, who was supposed to run off with her but thought he was stood up, is now a cop (undercover) and he can't keep from investigating. Major suspects are: His father, his brother Shay, Rosie's father. Francis is estranged from his family--alcohol, physical abuse, etc. His brother Shay resents his reentry into the family. Shay has dealt with alcoholic father and nasty mother all these years; Francis should just stay away.
Then Francis's younger brother Kevin dies from a fall out a window. Kevin is a suspect of convenience in the death of Rosie. If Kevin killed himself in remorse, then all is solved. Of course Francis doesn't buy it.
Nasty family. Nasty "hero" in Francis. He's manipulative with everyone. Tana French doesn't scrimp on the details. I'd say this is my least favorite so far, but 100 pages to go.
