Book Reviews of In the Woods

Book Review: Fascinating first book from Tana French
Summary: 4 Stars

I loved this book. The author melded together two plots, both mysteries, in an intricate and fascinating way. She has shown a knack for relating friendships, and her characters are flawed but likeable. I read all day - couldn't put it down. I loved the setting - modern Ireland - and the colloquialisms did not put me off like in some novels. Other reviewers have panned the ending, but I liked it - it felt just right. This is a top notch psychological thriller, and Tana French has put out an amazing first novel. Read it!

Summary of In the Woods

A gorgeously written novel that marks the debut of an astonishing new voice in psychological suspense

As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.

Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox?his partner and closest friend?find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.

Richly atmospheric, stunning in its complexity, and utterly convincing and surprising to the end, In the Woods is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones.
