After reading The Trespasser by Tana French, l wanted to go back to her first book, In the Woods. “A young girl is found dead near an archeological dig. Detectives Cassie Maddox and Rob Ryan from the Dublin Murder Squad are called to the scene. Rob has a past in these woods and hopes to solve both mysteries.” This was a long audiobook - 20+ hours. But I enjoyed French’s writing style. There is a lot of depth and detail in the story which normally doesn’t work for me but in does here. The story is told through Ryan’s POV and he makes lots of terrible decisions until he makes one good one. He’s a character you’ll yell at a lot. The teamwork and friendship between Ryan and Maddox is nice to see until Ryan messes it up. Ryan is full of issues and problems from his childhood trauma. French gives us a messy ending which l like. Maybe the bad guy doesn’t get punished - Maybe you won’t find out what happened to those kids. I was disappointed not to have some closure on part of the story but they are fictional characters right? 🤦🏼‍♂️ This was a nice debut from French. Nice performance on the audiobook.

In the Woods (Dublin Murder Squad, Book 1) by Tana French: The full title pretty much tells the reader what to expect. It is the first book in a series set in and around Dublin about detectives in the murder squad and this particular mystery takes place in the woods. The only thing I'll add is that it is modern-day. My brother gifted me with this book having read good reviews about it and knowing it would appeal to my sensibilities. Since I read my first Agatha Christie, I've been highly entertained by detective stories and mysteries across cultures, periods and genres. I love a good historical mystery as much as a modern-day or even fantasy or sci-fi one. I just started reading The Likeness, the second book in the series and see the POV has shifted. So I will say the protagonist in this one is sharp with middling self-awareness. I guess this is a standard prototype for a detective/officer of the law white hat protagonist: deeply and uniquely gifted professionally but possibly hugely flawed personally. I don't want to give anything away except to say I thought by the end of this book all would be revealed, not realizing there were many more in the series. Much is revealed with tantalizing suggestions there is much more to learn and be uncovered. I plan to keep reading these #TanaFrench books! #dublinmurdersquad #inthewoods
