We had been tapping Andrew’s phones for a week now, with results pathetic enough that O’Kelly was beginning to emit ominous, volcanic grumbling noises. During the day Andrews made large numbers of snappy, testosterone-flavored calls on his mobile; in the evenings he ordered over-priced “gourmet” food — “takeaway with notions,” Sam called it, disapprovingly. Once he rang one of those sex chat lines you see advertised on late-night TV; he liked to be spanked, apparently, and “Redden my arse, Celestine” had instantly become a squad catchphrase.
(pg. 300, In the Woods by Tana French)
I tend to like mysteries in the first place, but the writing style is truly making this one stand out for me.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little. Grab your current read, open to a random page, and give us two teaser sentences. Remember, no spoilers.
I received my copy through PaperbackSwap, and the above is my honest opinion..
Spooky for sure. Sounds awesome!

I have this but I’ve been hesitant to read it since I’ve heard that it ends oddly.
I want to read this one. It sounds so good.
