seobookworm 's review for:

The Witch Elm by Tana French
4.75
challenging dark mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Couldn’t put down from start to finish. Even the things I thought seemed a bit cliche and predictable Tana French gave thought-provoking nuance to. A murder mystery where the murder may be the least important part of the whole plot.

Tana French’s mastery for making me care about sexist mediocre men is a true testament to her skill as a writer. I left the Witch Elm with so many questions, the most haunting of course, being: what makes us who we are, if anything? What do we value about ourselves?
