Book Review of In the Woods (Dublin Murder Squad, Bk 1)

In the Woods (Dublin Murder Squad, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


I'm not a big fan of the mystery/thriller genre, but when my daughter sent me a copy of French's The Likeness I was hooked. Then I had to read French's earlier book In the Woods, which used some of the same characters but written from a male point of view (The Likeness had a female protagonist). In both books there were one or more unsettling mysteries never fully explained, and in In The Woods the original mystery was never solved, leaving both my daughter and me feeling shortchanged (we still loved both books even though there was really no "happily ever after," or anything approaching that).
