This book covers multiple Toppling Bookpile topics for me: New Author, Series and Debut Novel. In the Woods is Tana French's debut novel in a series that currently has 5 books in the Dublin Murder Squad.
I'd been looking forward to reading it, but was a bit disappointed. Maybe it was because of my own frame of mind, but I found Rob Ryan to be a terribly stressful and distressing narrator. The story seemed to drag out more than necessary especially because I had figured out the main culprit early on (contrary to the narrator's belief that " fooled you too")
I will give the next book in a series a chance, in case it was my own mindset that caused me to be less than pleased with this debut.
Quote: "Every single society in the world, ever, has had some form of belief system. But now...How many people do you know who're Christian - not just going to church, but actually Christian, like trying to do things the way Jesus would've? And it's not like people can have faith in political ideologies Our government doesn't even have an ideology, as far as anyone can tell-"
