And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room
But something goes wrong. Very wrong.
And in the dark, dark room....
Some things can't stay secret for ever.
In a Dark Dark Wood is a unreliable narrator novel where we are given a rather intriguing mystery that twists and bends as the characters struggle to process what is happening. I really loved how utterly insane this turned out to be. It’s certainly not a thriller based purely on ‘likelihood’ but I loved seeing how each chapter chips away at the possibility of each characters’ innocence. The setting adds to this eerie ‘someone is always watching’ feeling, and the instability of all the characters really adds a great amount of tension. I’m not big on thrillers, but I’m quite fond of these unreliable narratives
