The Witch Elm

The Witch Elm is certainly worth the wait. Tana French is a gifted writer and one I connected with instantly. This novel is not one of her Dublin Murder Squad series and reminded me of a Ruth Rendell novel mixed with a little bit of Donna Tart and I say this as a high praise since she is independent from both but to me equally talented. The performance by Paul Nugent was also very good but this novel works whichever way you choose to read it. Highly recommended.
