yasdnilr 's review for:

The Wych Elm by Tana French
3.0

Far too long, it would’ve been improved by a ruthless editor.

I don’t really know how to review this without spoiling it. Suffice to say, it is a good read and kept me riveted for five days (no mean feat as I had a period of about a month there where I didn’t read anything)

There aren’t many redeeming characters (except Uncle Hugo, who I adored). The narrator is a massive twat and makes the dumbest decisions almost from the getgo. I understand the whys and wherefores but...

The end...I don’t even know what to say. Curiously unsatisfying, eternally puzzling.
