About this product
Product Information
Named a New York Times Notable Book of 2018 and a Best Book of 2018 by NPR, The New York Times Book Review , Amazon, The Boston Globe, LitHub, Vulture, Slate, Elle , Vox, and Electric Literature "Tana French's best and most intricately nuanced novel yet." -- The New York Times An "extraordinary" (Stephen King) and "mesmerizing" ( LA Times ) new standalone novel from the master of crime and suspense and author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher . From the writer who "inspires cultic devotion in readers" ( The New Yorker ) and has been called "incandescent" by Stephen King, "absolutely mesmerizing" by Gillian Flynn, and "unputdownable" ( People ) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out. Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who's dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life--he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again, he takes refuge at his family's ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden--and as detectives close in, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed. A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, The Witch Elm asks what we become, and what we're capable of, when we no longer know who we are.

Reviews
Praise for The Witch Elm: "Head-spinning. . . French has spun an engrossing meditation on memory, identity, and family. A master of psychological complexity, she toys with the minds of her characters and readers both." - Vogue "Spooky." - Entertainment Weekly "A thrilling novel about privilege, family lore, and perception." -PopSugar "The crime writer for people who think they don't like genre fiction. Her prose is enveloping and intricate, but casually masks its cleverness. She sucks you in with mystery, then unfurls a masterfully rendered, super specific slice of Irish society." -Vogue.com "A spellbinding stand-alone novel carefully crafted in her unique, darkly elegant prose style." -Booklist "Edgar-winner French is at her suspenseful best in this standalone, in which an Irishman, who's always considered himself a lucky person, has to reassess his past in the light of a gruesome find on the grounds of his family's ancestral home." -- Publishers Weekly ". . . the story is compelling, and French is deft in unraveling this book's puzzles . . . Psychologically intense." -- Kirkus Reviews "French's slow-burning, character-driven examination of male privilege is timely, sharp, and meticulously crafted. Recommended for her legions of fans, as well as any readers of literary crime fiction." -- Library Journal "Exquisitely suspenseful." -Bustle "Tana French's The Witch Elm is a chilling mystery about the unreliability of memory." - Real Simple "You savor the details -- the delicious portrayal of crisp fall weather in Ireland -- as you race through the pages. . . A tick-tocking mystery and a fascinating portrayal of memory as a cracked mirror, through which the past can't quite be seen clearly. - Seattle Times "An amazing read from an Iconic thriller writer." - Mystery Tribune "Fans of [Tana French's] previous Dublin Murder Squad books will find themselves happily tangled up in her new novel, and ultimately delighted by the deep psychological dive she leads them on." - Mystery Scene Praise for Tana French: "A tour de force . . . 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." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "[Tana French] inspires cultic devotion in readers...most crime fiction is diverting; French's is consuming." --The New Yorker "There's nothing standard about French's approach to crime fiction, which plays the form much like a jazz musician improvising on a standard. Even when the outlines of the mystery seem familiar...she finds a way to get at enriching themes and powerful emotional truths in fresh and surprising ways." --Chicago Tribune "To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer." --Gillian Flynn "Terrific--terrifying, amazing, and the prose is incandescent." --Stephen King "One of the most distinct and exciting new voices in crime writing." -- The Wall Street Journal "French is a poet of mood and a master builder of plots." --Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post "In all of the author's work, meaning lurks beneath every quip and glance. French not only spins a twisty cop tale, she also encases it in meticulous prose, creating a read that is as elegant as it is dark." -- Associated Press, Praise for Tana French: "A tour de force . . . 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." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "[Tana French] inspires cultic devotion in readers...most crime fiction is diverting; French's is consuming." --The New Yorker "There's nothing standard about French's approach to crime fiction, which plays the form much like a jazz musician improvising on a standard.

French not only spins a twisty cop tale, she also encases it in meticulous prose, creating a read that is as elegant as it is dark." -- Associated Press Praise for The Trespasser : "This one, starring Detective Antoinette Conway, may be her best yet." -- Entertainment Weekly "French has always found a marvelous balance between the crimes at the heart of her novels and the personal and interpersonal lives of her detectives." -- O, Oprah Magazine "French keeps the reader pulling at the end of a tight leash."-- TIME "...French outstrips most crime writers. Instead of following a single detective across 30 books, French sucks the reader into a different narrator's mind with each book. Her stories build to the moment when the narrator's personal and professional lives intersect, and sometimes her characters are vanquished by their transformations." -- GQ.com "Ms. French writes dialogue like nobody's business, and The Trespasser has enough surprises to keep your brain buzzing." -- The Wall Street Journal "French has classed up the old-school police procedural with smart, lush prose and a willingness to explore the darkest recesses of her characters' emotional lives." --The Millions "When Gillian Flynn calls your book 'mesmerizing,' it shouldn't be taken lightly. And Tana French's new thriller about a detective embroiled in a complicated case involving a woman's murder is worthy of the accolade." -- InStyle, Praise for The Witch Elm: "Edgar-winner French is at her suspenseful best in this standalone, in which an Irishman, who's always considered himself a lucky person, has to reassess his past in the light of a gruesome find on the grounds of his family's ancestral home." -- Publishers Weekly ". . . the story is compelling, and French is deft in unraveling this book's puzzles . . .

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
