A review by lavoiture
The Witch Elm by Tana French

3.0

HMMMMMMM. I knew this wasn't a Dublin Murder Squad book, but I guess I don't really know what I thought it would be. Absolutely not a police procedural, which is what I expected. Not really even a a mystery, which is also what I expected. Almost no sympathetic characters, and it took forever to get to the mystery bit. After that, I felt like, again, it was a rip-off of The Secret History (like The Likeness). The writing style, the themes, the cover-up...I wanted to like it more than I did. I'm a big Tana French fan, but...meh.
