Tana French

Tana French is an Irish-American author born in Vermont in 1973 and raised across multiple countries before settling in Dublin, where she also worked as a theatre actress. Her Dublin Murder Squad series, beginning with In the Woods, redefined literary crime fiction with its atmospheric prose, unreliable narrators, and deep psychological complexity. Each novel in the series shifts perspective to a different detective, creating an interconnected web of stories about memory, identity, and the lies people tell themselves. She has won the Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity awards, among others.
