French: I've read 2 1/4 so far of them. Set in Dublin, often with the miseries of Ireland in he background. Somehow I just keep reading, although at times skipping over longer paragraphs. The second in the series features a woman detective, with an annoying boss; the third features the boss (who is not at all annoying here) with an annoying colleague; the fourth is the colleague (who is not at all annoying here) but not yet sure who is his problem. I've not read the first.
Black: again set in Dublin, main character is a pathologist, miseries everpresent.
Lots of drink, smoking, relatives, and detailed geography in each. Marriage is rarely bearable. Poverty everpresent.
I do like the Tana French books, as does Andy.
