Review: The Night Woods

By Paula Munier 

I like her books at lot—her main characters are interesting and predictable in how they behave and respond to things. The mystery adds the element of surprise and uncertainty, and the plots are always fresh.

And having said all that, I felt like this one fell kind of flat. Not that the action didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat—it did! But the plot was a little on the weird and unbelievable side. The main perp’s actions made sense because she was a total loony bin. But the rest of the plot was confusing and I didn’t have any understanding of how the other evildoers fit in. Maybe I was just burned out and didn’t care at that point. Maybe it’s me.

Of course I’ll read the next one, when it comes. I just hope it’s a little better plotted.
