A review by delvian
The Witch Elm by Tana French

5.0

After having just finished it, the word that comes to mind is ... "devastating." But then Tana French's books usually pack a wallop with me. The book is probably a bit too long, and as I was reading it, I felt it took too long to get to the story, but when it finally got going I was taken along in the whirlwind. I see some people not liking the book because they didn't like the main character. I agree that he's not totally likable, but then not all characters need to be.

The book is elegantly plotted, and nicely written. I might need a few days before I pick up fiction. I'll need to sit with this one for a bit and let it soak through me.

Note: I listened to the audio version, and the narration was quite good.
