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.

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 Maddoxhis partner and closest friendfind 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.", The debut novel of an astonishing voice in psychological suspense As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home.

Well Worth Reading
A long story and a bit heavy reading at times though I was always ready to get back to it. Good twists and turns and I enjoyed Ms. French's writing style. The story's end was somewhat expected, and I was sorry that it couldn't be better. But it was all in line with the overall theme. I would like to think that the storyteller went on to a good life.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
