The Witch Elm

The Witch Elm by Tana French, 509 pages.

Toby is taking some time to recover from the injuries he suffered during a very violent burglary. He doesn't feel quite himself, still a little shaky, as it were. Toby decides to move in with his terminally ill uncle and help while he himself sorts thing out and gives himself some time. While there, a long buried secret comes to light and many members of the family, a nice middle-class British family, with lots of perqs and privileges, have to revise their stories about the past. Tana French does an excellent job in keeping the twists and turns coming, right up to the end. No one is as innocent as they would like you to think. Tana French is always good.
