Ilana W. reviewed In the Woods by Tana French on 7/17/2009

I enjoyed the book as a little bit of a diversion from the kind of books I normally read (I hope I don't sound elitist and condescending, but mysteries are not usually what I reach for). I went for this one because the New York Times review made it sound intriguing, maybe a cut above the usual stuff you find in the genre. However, I didn't find the characters very believable; they were the "stock" kind of characters I've encountered in the few mysteries I have picked in the past. The story, when it finally unravels, is a bit of a stretch as well, I thought.
