The Witch Elm by Tana French
5.0

As always, Tana French delivers much more than a mystery. An unreliable narrator leads us around twist after turn after twist in this absolutely brilliant novel. French ups the stakes on each mystery we learn about, and the whispers and motives of the supporting characters, by making them the crux of the narrator’s struggle to return to himself after a devastating event. I love the way French’s novels take us along as the crucial moment that defines a character’s life unfolds. This one is no different for being apart from the DMS series. It’s fascinating and terrifying, suspenseful and tragic, hopeful and sad.
