Book: In the Woods by Tana French
Meeting Date: February 5-7, 2010
RETREAT WEEKEND
Location: Noma's -Tortuga (Pioneer)
Synopsis:
As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children, gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled shoes, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.
Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox – his partner and closest friend – find themselves investigating a case with chilling links to that long-ago disappearance. Now, with only snippets of buried memories to guide him, Rob has the chance to unravel both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.

Is it just me or is this book leaving anyone else with a creepy feeling. But I am enjoying it so far. I'm about 1/2 way through.
I finished the book. I was very disappointed in the end. And it left me with the urge to curse...The F word especially. I rated it a 3 but seriously considered giving it a 2.
