Description

What she saw in the wood would change her life forever.

Walking in the wood one day, Fran witnesses the horrifying murder of local teen, Tyler. She tells the police exactly what she saw, but their investigation doesn’t seem to make much headway.  

Fran tries to settle back into a normal life, but is tormented by guilt – was there something she could have done to save the boy? Fran can’t let it go and finds herself drawn to Tyler’s grieving mother, Mel, both finding some strange connection through this shared trauma. 

Then someone launches a terrifying campaign of intimidation against Fran and her husband, Laurie. Could it be the killers? Are they letting her know she had better be careful what she says? Who she sees? And why is Mel acting so strangely? Does she know more about her son’s death than she is saying?  

Fran can’t help herself – she needs to know the truth. But when she begins to dig, she uncovers the terrible secret of the deep, dark wood – a secret that will change her life forever.

In the Deep Dark Wood – a stunning psychological thriller with a nerve-shredding climax. Perfect for fans of K. L. Slater, Sarah A. Denzil and Miranda Rijks.

Walking in the wood one day, Fran witnesses the horrifying murder of local teen, Tyler. As the sole witness Fran is ladled with guilt that she couldn't help the young man and with fear that the murderers will come after her.
After Fran meets the young man's mother, Mel when Mel's dogs attacks Fran's dog, Fran decides to befriend her and try to learn why Tyler was murdered.
Strange events and threatening letters begin to plague Fran and her husband Laurie. With the police investigation moving very slowly Fran continues to play detective. Does Mel know something about why her son was murdered? Why doesn't Mel seem more emotional over her son's murder? Who is sending the scary letters? Are Fran and Laurie unsafe enough to move away?
This novel has some fast paced suspense but I find the characters to be boring or unlikeable. Fran continually kept putting herself and her family in danger and Mel seems cold and callous. Also the ending to me was rather abrupt and not satisfying.
