The Witch Elm by Tana French

Tana French is becoming a favorite!  Loved her first book and now I love her newest, too.  This one is from the point of view of a male....interesting for her.

Anyway, like the other book (In the Woods) of hers that I read (and like all of her books I hear), this is a psychological thriller.  The story line is important, but more important is the character study.

You get to know the main character, Toby,  over time and his pesona evolves over the course of the book. Really interesting how she does this.  Here's what one reviewer said so succinctly:  
...but it is really a deeply subtle book about privilege: how clueless, apparently decent guys can float through life unaware of the injustices around them, sometimes even ones they have committed.
I think I need to read more Tana French books!
