A review by maekay
The Witch Elm by Tana French

dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Loved this! Tana French did a wonderful just of easing me into the main character/narrator and then slowly peeling away the false narrative through the murder mystery to reveal
the real villain of the story is the protagonist and his shitty fate is the direct result of his shitty actions
. I was left unsettled by the end of the story, but in a very good way.
