I read "In the Woods" on the Kindle by Tana French ----- migod, that was SO GOOD!!! It's supposedly a detective thriller, but.......it's a wild anti-novel with a whole plotline that is never solved, no "throughline" as Stephen King says about his anti-novel, "The Colorado Kid" (which I read again directly after the French book to remind myself of this fascinating point). The anti-novel forces the reader to confront how much we want a STORY with beginning, middle, and end, and how much life doesn't give us those, if it doesn't want to.
"In the Woods" is a rereader.
Now I'm reading "True Detectives" by Kellerman, which is a more predictable ride, workmanlike, maybe a little tired. I admire Kellerman, though, he's done a good job over the years and is a real patriot, working hard all his life for children and mental health issues.
