Summary
The course of Frank Mackey's life was set by one defining moment when he was 19. The moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him to London as they had planned. Frank never heard from her again. Twenty years on, Frank is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop. He's cut all ties with his dysfunctional family. Until his sister calls to say that Rosie's suitcase has been found.
Frank embarks on a journey into his past that demands he re-evaluate everything he believes to be true.

More than a crime novel
Having enjoyed the author's excellent crime novel, Broken Harbour, I hoped this would be as good: and it is. Although the narrative is carried along by the investigation of a crime perpetrated 20 years earlier, the book offers much more. It is highly evocative of Dublin life and its inhabitants of different generations. The listener is drawn into the lives of the characters such that I felt I was hearing about real people. A feeling reinforced by the immediacy of the dialogue given different voices by the excellent narrator.

Fabulous
I listen to a lot of crime/thriller books on here and I suppose I am always drawn to authors that are well reviewed and notable, therefore for me this was a risk...but I am so glad and so thrilled to find a book that was entertaining and with believable characters and brilliant dialog. It's a must and I will definitely seek out more by Tana French and anything read by Gerry O'Brien will get my vote...he is nothing short of excellent!! Thank you !

Pacey and Irish
Being from Dublin, I probably enjoyed this book more than someone who is not. But its such a buzz after years of listening to American murder mysteries to hear one in local accents based on totally believable, dysfunctional stereotypical characters. The book itself gets straight to the point and packs more than a few punches. Thoroughly enjoyable escapist stuff.

Brilliant
This book was so good I didn't want it to finish. I miss the voice of Gerry O'Brien now. He was wonderful to listen to. The story was great. I wish I could listen to it again as new.

Loved the story, great narrator
Where does Faithful Place rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best
What did you like best about this story?
Loved the characters, the mystery and the relationships and the twists and turns in a great story.
What does Gerry O'Brien bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Gerry made this book for me. He was so nice to listen to, loved his accent and he read it so well. I looked to see if he had narrated any more and was a bit disappointed to find he hadn't done any more of Tana French books.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did love this story. I listened continuously for hours, couldn't wait to hear what happened next.
Any additional comments?
I loved these characters, I really wanted to read some more, follow these characters, but as far as I know there are no follow up books. Perhaps in the future?

Fab listen
I loved this book, so much about Ireland and a few families and their lives. The story was very good kept reading it as I could not stop. The narrator was also very good, could listen to him for ages.

Another excellent Tana French
Having listened to Broken Harbour, I thought nothing could be as good, however I think Faithful Place was better. Another brilliant narration lifted the story, and the characters were brought to life really well.The plot developed well and I was really sorry when I reached the end.

Brilliant !
Loved every minute of this book .. would recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of a mystery. It’s given me something to chat to my Da about .. so many familiar things in this book. Fabulously narrated and a great story. Love the characters and especially the main character - many recognisable scenarios with the family dynamics. Again, it’s going to be hard to find another book to match to this.
