#0009A In the Woods - Tana French


I was never a mystery fan. I just did not get into Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys at the right time. Since I am trying to be open minded about books in this 1,000 book before the end of my life, I seriously just picked up the first one that caught my eye.

Typical mystery with detectives in the book, but there were more twists and excitement than what I originally thought. The main character, when he was younger, was playing in the woods with his two best friends. He never came home for dinner so his mother sent out the police and they found him clinging on to a tree for dear life with someone else's blood in his shoes and he does not remember a thing.
Jump back to present time. Another girl was found murdered in the same woods. Does this crime relate to the disappearance of his two friends from so long ago?

Mysteries really are not that bad from what I could remember. I just hope they are not all about detectives because that would get a little boring, but for me to throw a mystery into my broad range every once in awhile will not be as bad as I thought. 3.5 stars
