About this product

Product Information

The bestselling debut, with over a million copies sold, that launched Tana French, author of The Witch Elm and "the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years" ( The Washington Post ). "Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting." -- The New York Times Now airing as a Starz series 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 and stunning in its complexity, In the Woods is utterly convincing and surprising to the end.

"[An] ambitious and extraordinary first novel...rank it high." -- The Washington Post "Part whodunit, part psychological thriller, and wholly successful...French's plot twists and turns will bamboozle even the most astute reader...A well-written, expertly plotted thriller." --NPR " In the Woods  is as creepily imaginative as it gets." -- USA Today   "Drawn by the grim nature of her plot and the lyrical ferocity of her writing, even smart people who should know better will be able to lose themselves in these dark woods." -- The New York Times Book Review     Praise for Tana French "When you read Ms. French -- and she has become required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting -- make only one assumption: All of your initial assumptions are wrong" -- The New York Times "Tana French is the most interesting, most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years." -- The Washington Post "[Tana French] inspires cultic devotion in readers...most crime fiction is diverting; French's is consuming." -- The New Yorker "To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting.

    Readable but would rather read other mysteries

    Reading it now. Haven't finished it but I do not find it a page turner. Have read better mysteries. Will not be buying any more books by this author.

  • Top critical review

    Well-Written but Frustrating

    Police procedural, intermixed with the trials and tribulations of the main character, survivor of horrific childhood incident where two of his friends disappeared and were never found. He has no memory of what happened even after 20 years. A child's murder in his childhood home town brings him back to the location, producing some flashbacks but no answers. The murderer is prosecuted, but there is no justice to be found.

  • Compelling story and writing but drags some - just could have been much more concise.

    An interesting novel but too long - it really drags in parts. But the story is interesting enough to make you carry on through the draggy parts.

  • Not a good read.

    I didn't finish this book. Too unorganized and didn't hold my interest.
