11-20-08 In The Woods by Tana French - Fiction

4 - This is an engaging thriller. WARNING: If you can't stomach stories about murdered children, DO NOT read this. There are two mysteries in this book: the current day search for the murderer of a 12-year-old girl and the disappearance of two 12-year-old children 20 years prior. In The Woods is a tightly written story that draws you in and keeps you guessing until the bitter end. Rob is a detective on the current day case and the only witness to the disappearances of 20 years prior. He has no memory of that day, but as he works on the new case in the same town, he slowly begins to remember bits and pieces of that summer. Skillfully blending the two events, French keeps you reading, waiting to find out some answers.
