Anyone like Tana French: In The Woods

[StealthPolarBear]

?

ah no w i like the first hal;f
but the end was uber shit

dh reading it
cnat bring self ot tell him

I loved the entire thing.
I was disappointed by the ending, but decided I was expecting it to be too tied up.

Me too, v let down by the end.

Did think it was a bit unlikely that he'd have got into the police force without them doing enough background checks to know about the change of identity though? (If i'm thinking about the right book, have read a lot of potboiling thrillers lately.)

eys freaky
a dn SHE was a bit ana freil ish in her perky ness

Thought it was well written though, particularly the woman sarge/that whole relationship.

Yes that's the one, and that did occur to me as well - surrounded by detectives and not one knew that! Didn't he keep his surname as well?

oh the woman sareg was annoying.

I think I might like that Anna Freil dead thing last night, haven't fully made my mind up yet. Missed the beginning too, which doesn't help.

well I liked it! Raspberries to you all

Anna Friel thing?

Sorry - off at a tangent - Pushing Daisies. Cod's mention of Ana Freil ish perkiness (the psycho? I presume) sent me off.

oh she meant the psycho? I thought she meant cassie?

was that her name?

I can't remember! I thought the psycho was perky though - but have to be honest saw it coming a mile off. Have read too many, but still thought it was mostly pretty good.

I liked it, and I hate detective books.

So there

good for you!
Shall we form a clique?

What made you read it in the first place?

The times book club told me to read it, so i did. (suggestible)

It had to end as it did, or it'd be too unbelievable. The psycho character was dodgy though, the teenage girl. Didn't believe in her.

we could start the 'only Bears allowed' bookclub

at the Bears Bookclub!
What do you mean, too unbelievable?

If it was all the loose ends were tied up nicely at the end, I don't think it would have worked. As it was you never really knew what'd happened when he was a kid.

Shame about Cassie getting together with Sam instead of the main guy. Though you can see why really!

Was a bit unlikely I suppose that he would have made it into the police force. Presumably they do checks on backgrounds...

Overall, tho, a really page-turner, very enjoyable.

Enjoyed the Anna Friel thing too

I read it and thought the ending was pants. It started off well enough though

There's a sequel coming out in August, is why the ending was so dodge: to make you buy the next one in the hope that it'll end better this time round.

Will the sequel tell us what really happened in the woods when whatisface was a child?
