Going by the title
In a Dark, Dark Wood, I was expecting a creepy, terrifying thriller from debut writer Ruth Ware, but all I got instead was this cheap
Gone Girl/
The Girl on the Train imitation of grip-lit (
seriously, is that a new genre now?) that relies on what else, but an unreliable semi-conscious narrator to unspool the mystery of what happened to her and why. To be frank, if it were not for the sort-of-unpredictable ending that I'll admit I didn't see coming, the juvenile conversations, the boring characters and the formulaic plot would have done it for me. Overall, a pedestrian mystery that you really wouldn't miss out on, unless you are totally new to this grip-lit bandwagon.
