The Witch Elm by Tana French

challenging dark mysterious reflective tense

5.0

Tana French uses crime/suspense settings to explore the human condition and issues like privilege, identity, memory and meaning. Like all of her books, The Wych Elm is nuanced, layered, textured and beautifully written. If you want a cozy puzzle mystery to while away a winter evening by the fire - murder as light entertainment - look elsewhere.
