The Witch Elm is by Tana French. A strange, yet compelling, realistic fiction novel. Toby is the victim of a home invasion that almost killed him. While he struggles to recover from his head injury, he goes to Ivy House, the home of his uncle, where he and his cousins spent a great deal of time as children. Hugo is now dying of cancer and Toby and his girlfriend Melissa move in to assist him. Then a skull is found in the witch elm in the garden and everything falls apart. Nobody is who they seem and the past is not what anyone believes it to be.
Ratings: 12th grade - 7 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
