Download In the Woods: A Novel Audiobook

" This book was just "ok". It seemed to be bogged down in detail and drawn-out. I finished it because I wanted to see if the mystery of the narrator's childhood friends' disappearance was solved. "

" I am drawn to these books by Tana French because I enjoy the Irish settings/descriptions but I feel like the main character of the Irish police detective is always the same, only the family history/details change. I thought it was an interesting premise with the detective in a current child murder investigating a place of childhood trauma where he had been terrorized and his friends went missing. I was disappointed though that the older mystery was never solved and the romance in the book fizzled. Just not very satisfying in that regard. "

" Okay, could have been shorter. "

" I couldn't put this book down, it was very compelling. But, in the end, it left me vaguely unsatisfied. It was well written and engrossing, but I'm not actually sure I "liked" it. "

" Sure was disappointed at the end...not the ending of the book, but that a character got away with something. "

" Definitely enjoyed this book. It's interesting that I sometimes scoff at books and movies where the ending is all happy and all the loose ends are tied up. This was a book in which that didn't happen and to an extent, that left me wishing it would have ended differently. Can't have it both ways, can I? "

" Loved this book, but I was a little disappointed in the ending. Was looking for a few more answers... "

" I was disappointed with this read. It started out very promising, the author has a great talent for writing and weaving a story but it just didn't live up to its expectations. The story sags in the middle, but you keep reading to find out what happens, and then ends on a rather anti-climatic note. Huge potential and I hope to be surprised by her other books. "

" I was slightly disappointed. I read Broken Harbour and loved it. After finding more Tana French on good reads I decided to check out In the Woods and it failed to meet my expectations. Its still an enjoyable book and will still recommend Tana French. "

" giving this book 3 stars is generous. I had solved the who-dun-it by about halfway through the book, the narrator was unlikable and all the female characters were some combo of angel or bitch. "

" Excellent psychological mystery! For a first novel, Tana French presented a weel written novel with several unexpected turns. "

" I don't know how I feel about this book. "

" Excellent yet frustrating Irish crime novel. Will have to read the next one to see if there are more answers!! "

" Unbelievable, unlikeable central character, ludicrous police work (they hadn't looked in the shed?) made me abandon this. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Combination of intriguing characters and a good plot. Looking forward to reading her other books. "

" If you don't think you like murder mysteries, you might give this one a try- more a novel about someone who solves murders than just a typical whodunit. Creepy, sad and gripping in an un-put-down able way. Kiss your life goodbye for a few days once you read the first page. "

" I had not heard of this author before and read this book on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. After finishing this book I quickly purchased the next. There are four Dublin Murder Club books and each one focuses on a different detective. Looking forward to reading the next one. "

" I have been dying to read tis book. Argh! I found the ended extraordinarily frustrating, but that being said, I really enjoyed it. It's a beautifully written crime novel and I felt instantly invested in the characters. Tana French has a lovely way with words. "

" The book was okay. I felt like I struggled a lot to finish it. I also felt like the main character (male) had a female voice so it felt very odd reading it. It never felt the story was being told by a guy. "

" 4.5, Really liked this book, will read more Tana French! "

" Remarkable debut...terrific psychological thriller with vivid, powerful, believable characters and a solid ending that didn't tie with a bow. Great, great book. "

" I didn't get invested until the last 50 pages, the rest of the book kind of wandered along. Not a terrible read, just not engaging. "

" The book that opened my eyes to an entire genre. So so good. "

" I know this was all the rage, but just did not grab me. Too long, too predictable and a total sad sack for a main character. "

" Interesting, not too complex, archaeological/psychological murder mystery. Quick readso you don't have to store extraneous characters in your long term memory... "

" I like the complexity of the characters in French's mysteries. I've now read four of her books and enjoyed each one. "

" Loved the build up, but there was no payoff for the main character's mystery. My hope is that further Dublin Murder Squad books reveal what happened in the woods. "

" Ahhhh.... took me a while to properly get into it, but once I did I couldn't put it down! Gripping, moving crime/psychological thriller. "

" I read it last year. It was a good psychological thriller, but I like my endings a little tidier, but hers is probably more realistic. "

" This book was great if you don't want the central mystery to be solved in any way. I was mad when I finished. "

" Refreshing - a mystery writer who actually understands character development. "

" Even though I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed ' The Likeness' more (yes, I read them backwards on accident) Detective Ryan is just not as interesting as Cassie Maddox. Too bad the next book, ' Faithful Place' doesn't sound like it has her in it at all! "
