In the Woods

This was a well-done mystery in that it kept me guessing until the end. Rather than adding in heavy-handed clues, the author introduced dozens of tiny near-clues, which was a bit distracting at times, but probably necessary to throw readers off the scent.

I would've given this book another star, well, another half star if I could, if I hadn't grown to dislike the protagonist so much. By the end of the book, I was actually getting joy out of each of his missteps. I would consider reading the book's sequel sometime in the future, when I'm up for another mystery.
