In the Woods by Tana FrenchRead about the other books on the list.
You’ll be thinking about the ending of this novel—the first in Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad series—for a long time after it’s over. (I, for one, have been haunted by it for almost a decade now.) In it, two members of the squad are assigned to find the killer of a young girl, a case further complicated by one of the detectives’ mysterious history at the same location.
