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 sneakers, 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 chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.

Richly atmospheric, stunning in its complexity, and utterly convincing and surprising to the end, In the Woods is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones. And look for French's new mystery, Broken Harbor, for more of the Dublin Murder Squad.

Bom, mas faltou alguma coisa

Sempre adorei livros de suspense. Nesse sentido toda vez que acho um livro que me vem bem recomendado renasce uma esperança de que 'essa série vai ser aquela série'. Fiquei muito animada com esse thriller mas admito que foi-se arrastando e, o que seria uma leitura arrebatadora, levou semanas pra acabar. Gostei da forma como a autora fechou suas amarras ao final, mas ainda assim não tive cvontade de continuar a série (ainda)
