This book definitely delivered. I am still about 100 pages from finishing and still wondering "whodunnit" and where some parts did admittedly drag for me a bit, overall I am finding it well written with a well executed "double" story line. I am also falling for the characters quite a bit. Where it was admittedly hard to keep some of the detectives/suspects all straight from time-to-time, I love the main characters Cassie and Rob, as well as the eerie creepiness of the suspected murderers and all those who were involved in Katy Devlin's world. I particularly like the references to the earlier disappearances/murder in the same small town and how the two stories are intertwining, or not....We shall see. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Discussion: Balliceaux Restaurant, Richmond VA&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6:00p.m.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5/4/2011&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4809141835240198467-5212591892781896876?l=inkandgrapes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inkandgrapes.blogspot.com/feeds/5212591892781896876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4809141835240198467&amp;postID=5212591892781896876' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4809141835240198467/posts/default/5212591892781896876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4809141835240198467/posts/default/5212591892781896876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inkandgrapes.blogspot.com/2011/05/aprilmay-2011-selection-in-woods-by.html' title='April/May 2011 Selection: &quot;In the Woods&quot; by Tana French'/><author><name>Becca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08002552712271387302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x2B2mxGc71k/TUhW8sI3B-I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/MllQOGxAqL4/s220/IMG_3527.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R5QV6jvdHmE/TcGtPe7C5UI/AAAAAAAAAI8/geQ6WElRAvA/s72-c/coverbig.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809141835240198467.post-2287434485446756515</id><published>2011-05-04T12:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T12:57:56.687-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Recent Selections</title><content type='html'>Ok so my sister asked that I write up a list of the titles we have covered recently (which was...ahem...) supposed to be achieved via this blog, but since I have been remiss, I will go ahead and catch us up to present day and pick up from there!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;April/May: "In the Woods" by Tana French&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;March: "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;February: "April's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;January: "Bitch in the House"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;December/November: "Man in the Woods" by Scott Spencer&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;September/October: "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Steig Larrson&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;June: "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4809141835240198467-2287434485446756515?l=inkandgrapes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inkandgrapes.blogspot.com/feeds/2287434485446756515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4809141835240198467&amp;postID=2287434485446756515' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4809141835240198467/posts/default/2287434485446756515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4809141835240198467/posts/default/2287434485446756515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inkandgrapes.blogspot.com/2011/05/recent-selections.html' title='Recent Selections'/><author><name>Becca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08002552712271387302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x2B2mxGc71k/TUhW8sI3B-I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/MllQOGxAqL4/s220/IMG_3527.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809141835240198467.post-4868640602149191363</id><published>2011-02-10T07:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T10:49:20.117-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Catching Up!</title><content type='html'>So, I have taken an embarrassingly long hiatus from catching up on my blog work recently, but I would like to get back to working on it a bit more consistently now. We have been reading so many wonderful books this year (2010) in Grapes and Ink (and I am sure we have all been reading great selections on our own as well!)&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are now well on our way into 2011 too and have some great choices to look forward to.  Reading is such a special time and activity for me and a wonderful release to transport me from life's realities or to just expand myself and my world. I cherish my reading time and can't wait to have a few moments before bed, or in the morning to just escape into my book for a while. It's rejuvenating to me and I enjoy sharing this passion with the amazing women who are in this club. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, being pregnant, I am cherishing this time both reading and in fellowship so much more as I know that it may be a past-time that has to wait for a bit with a new little one. Well, I hope to continue to be able to read and keep up with my hobby as much as possible and feel certain that where much of the available time to do so will definitely change, my draw to the written word will not. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, just some notes and thoughts on reading in general and as we look to 2011, what we plan to explore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Happy Reading!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
