She is shocked to discover that the murdered girl is her double when he calls her to the scene of his new case.

The Witch Elm by Tana French is a standalone novel. Toby is a charming, upbeat individual who has avoided trouble at work and is having a party with friends when the night takes a turn that will alter his life. He surprises two burglars, who beat him and kill him. He takes refuge at the ancestral home of his family to care for his dying uncle Hugo as he struggles to recover from his injuries and begins to realize that he may never be the same man again. Then, in the garden, a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree. As the police get closer, Toby is forced to confront the possibility that his past may not be as he has always believed it to be.
The Searcher is a standalone title by Tana French. A fixer-upper in a peaceful Irish village, according to Cal Hooper, would be the ideal getaway. He just wants to start a new life in a pretty place with a good pub where not much happens after 25 years in the Chicago police force and a bitter divorce. Cal, on the other hand, discovers layers of darkness beneath his picturesque retreat when a local kid whose brother has vanished forces him to investigate. He also begins to realize that even small towns contain dangerous secrets.
I really enjoyed The Searcher. I felt there was a voice telling the story. I felt the dedication he gave to Trey to locate her brother for her.
I didn’t like Mart hanging around asking questions. And, as it turned out he was tasked with keeping an eye on Cal.
What devious old men, killing and burying Trey’s brother and making Cal look like a fool for not recognizing their deceitfulness. I look forward to reading another book you have written.
I’m the Librarian at the Cogir Senior Retirement place in Citrus Heights. CA. In It is a copy of your book titled The Sea Ranch. I’m trying to find out when it was published, but for some reason cannot find one on the Web published by Tana French.
Did you write one or is the author on this one wrong.
Thanks in advance for an answer.
From my research Tana did not write a novel called that under any alternate name.
