The Witch Elm by Tana French
3.0
This was a classic Tana French novel, in that it reveals ALL the thoughts and feelings, and actions, of humans at their worst. The things we can do and say to each other that are just nasty and terrible.
This is the complicated story of Toby, deemed one of the luckiest people anyone has ever known. A confidence exudes from him that he can talk his way out of anything. After a night with the boys, he goes home and his house is burgled, and he is hurt a lot. He recovers at his uncle's home, after his uncle has had a diagnosis of untreatable brain cancer. One day while the family is gathered around, a body is discovered in the Witch Elm in the yard. After Toby's attack his memory is very messed up, and he begins to think that perhaps he killed the man in the tree--an old friend from school. What unfolds is his attempt to get his life back, and discover the truth...although not without consequences.
I enjoyed this diversion from the Dublin Murder Squad, and will continue to greedily consume any more books by her.
