In the Woods (Dublin Murder Squad, #1)
by Tana French
by Tana French
3.5
this was one of those books that I LOVED reading while I was reading it, but every time I put it down I didn't feel a huge compulsion to rush back to it.
I loved the prose which was occasionally literary (love seeing literary in crime fic)
I loved the narration which had a sense of humour that appealed to me.
Characters were fab and interesting and the setting was brilliantly done ~ Ireland (one of my fave aspects)
I was also intrigued about the whole murder investigation and the past disappearances (well, who wouldn't be?)
Ahh, I would have liked to see the key plot points/investigation move along a teeny bit faster. Often felt impatient despite still being entertained.
I'll read more of Tana French when I'm in the mood for crime. She rates on my list :D

Thanks Misha :) I am going camping tomorrow and taking it with me :) (maybe not the best choice for going camping in the bush, haha)I hope I love it too ~ then I can get her other books out from the library
haha ~ I have heard it's thriller/horror. We will be camping in the bush but only with kangaroos ~ hopefully nothing else freaky :D Have you read it?
Oh no, it sounds to scary and the chicken shitness in me comes shinning through for this particular read, but I'm looking forward to your review. If it turns out to be paranorm I might read it, if it's something else then I probably wont;p hehe
i haven't left yet so maybe i can still manage to squish the freezer in the boot and take it with us? heheheheh

It's such a weird feeling, hey. I don't get why it happens. If I'm loving something when I'm reading it you'd think I'd want to get back to it asap... weird.nice to know you get the feeling :)
