'In the Woods' was an overall complicated book, which gave me mixed feeling by the end of the novel. Rob Ryan was a selfish, complicated character, who as someone we're meant to connect to and root for, it meant I felt unsatisfied and confused reading. I didn't care for him, I found him rude, selfish, and at times, cruel to his partner, Cassie. By the time the novel was completed, I felt disconnected to Ryan and co, and simply wanted the crime case to be over with. Without mentioning spoilers, even that was unsatisfying!
