À propos de cet audio

 The inspiration for the major new BBC drama series DUBLIN MURDERS.

A stunningly accomplished psychological mystery which will take you on a thrilling journey through a tangled web of evil and beyond - to the inexplicable.

When he was twelve years old, Adam Ryan went playing in the woods one day with his two best friends. He never saw them again. Their bodies were never found, and Adam himself was discovered with his back pressed against an oak tree and his shoes filled with blood. He had no memory of what had happened.

Twenty years on, Rob Ryan - the child who came back - is a detective in the Dublin police force. He's changed his name. No one knows about his past. Then a little girl's body is found at the site of the old tragedy and Rob is drawn back into the mystery. Knowing that he would be thrown off the case if his past were revealed, Rob takes a fateful decision to keep quiet but hope that he might also solve the twenty-year-old mystery of the woods.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Sharply written and insidiously creepy, this is a mesmerising read that grabs hold of the reader from the very first page and doesn't let go until well past two in the morning.
This is a wonderfully assured and beautifully written debut novel, a multilayered psychological thriller that digs beneath the surface of ordinary lives and delivers excitement and insight in large helpings.
Lyrical and haunting
A real show-stopper of a thriller . . . Author tightens the tension slowly until squealing point; Ryan's increasingly taut relationship with Maddox is woven cunningly around the crime plot. A splendid, page-turning debut.
A rich multi-layered thriller
This is a real treat for Christmas. In the Woods is a classic murder mystery with plenty of twists and macabre detail. This is Tana French's debut and it's startlingly accomplished . . . French writes beautifully and is far from lazy when it comes to sprinkling clues and red herrings and developing the characters.
An intricate and edgy top-notch psychological thriller.

Ireland, murder, suspense, a little bit of romance—what more could I ask for! Great narrator too. Looking forward to #2.

Can’t wait to read #2!

The story might be ok, very hard to tell with a narrator whose inflections never change, even during dialogue. Will not listen to him again.

Terrible narrator

Tana French’s narrator was excellent, deftly performing a variety of regional Irish accents and using inflection naturally and to strong effect. The story, of a murder squad detective, Rob Ryan, and his female partner, working a case in Knocknaree that has heavy personal implications for Rob, is intricately woven and richly told. It was very suspenseful and I had chills multiple times. I blazed through this audio book and didn’t want it to end. The reason I took off one star is because some of the description was a bit overwrought, and though I truly enjoyed the complicated and unreliable narrator/main character Ryan, I found some of his observations to be unrealistically written. Overall though, I was a bit obsessed with this book and I can’t wait to get the second in the series!

Gripping

Enjoyed the story, but left hanging at the end. Sadly not the best narration, the characters sounded too similar.

Weak Narration

A very true feeling throughout the book, as the narrator reflects and remembers. Beautiful descriptions, engaging characters and plot. An untrustworthy narrator keeps you guessing, but I’ll admit to disappointment about the end.
