Any chance Tom White, slender and short older guy with white hair and unruly eyebrows was still tending bar at the Bistro? Haven't been there in years, but it was once a regular.

Re: Tana French - I LOVED the Dublin Murder Squad and The Witch Elm, but disliked the first book about Cal so much that I don’t plan on trying this second one. She writes such great and complex female protagonists and characters, I just didn’t feel the same connection with Cal. (Vastly different type of writing, but I felt similarly about Dolly Alderton’s latest, with a blah male protagonist.) It must feel really good for an author to stretch their imagination that way, but it doesn’t always translate as enjoyable to the reader, I think…
