In the Woods, French. Yes. I’m probably going to have to read The Likeness again, which on the one hand makes me wish I had read In the Woods first. On the other hand, I’m glad I didn’t read it first, because, while I would have liked it just fine, I might not have read any more of French’s books: the foreshadowing was just a little overdone for my taste, and the writing didn’t grab hold of me as tightly as French’s later works have. It’s a fine first novel, and I highly recommend reading the works in order, but know that they get noticeably better after the first one.
