In The Woods by Tana French

This book is about a little girl who gets murdered and the detective assigned to her case was also involved in a strange experience in his past.  Detective Rob Ryan as a twelve year old went in to the wood to play with his two friends and hours later was the only one found.  He was found clutching a tree and blood in his shoes.  The case was never solved and years later a little girl was murdered in the same woods and rob was in charge of the case.  

This book has a good story within a story but the older story never gets resolved with any sense of satisfaction.  The story in the whole is good but lacks something.  It could be so much better.

You've Been Warned by James Patterson

This is a really funky story that never really resolves itself.  Kirstin Barns is a New York City nanny who is having an affair with the father, Michael Turnbull.  She keeps having a "dream" about 4 body bags in front of a manhatten hotel and she keeps meeting up with dead people from her past.  Very iteresting concept.
