BOOKS I READ: In the Woods (2007) by Tana French. A mystery novel set in Ireland follows the work of the Murder Squad, detectives investigating the murder of a twelve-year-old ballerina.

In the Woods was recommended by a woman next to me while I was perusing a giveaway on the street. I was examining a nice edition of Papillon when she interrupted, “you’ll really like this one.” I said, “thanks,” walking away with both. She was right.

I’ve thought of making her a plant at the giveaway, the author, maybe. That would be a good storyline, the desperation of getting read. (Jan 2021)
