The Witch Elm by Tana French

Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.
This was just taking wayyy too long to get to the mystery part of the story. It's usually right out of the gate with her other novels, but I was like, SIX HOURS in and we still hadn't gotten to the skull under the tree mentioned in the plot summary. It just spent absolutely ages beating the point to death about the main character's struggles to recover from his injuries and wrestling with the grief/rage/fear of possibly being permanently disabled. A relevant plot point, obviously, but it was just the focus for too long and I lost interest.
