2007 · Tana French · 429 pages · Mystery

In the Woods is a mystery that cares more about the damage investigation does to the investigator than about solving the case. Tana French writes with a literary precision that elevates the police procedural into something more complex and more painful. The unsolved elements have divided readers since publication, but the writing and the character work are among the finest in contemporary crime fiction.
