Despite the vineyards there is still plenty of woodland along both banks of the Rhine, and from all I've read that was the case even more so in Roman times, including in the Mainz / Mayence area where Falco is headed ... and as for the Teutoburg Forest area, all I'll say is, "Varus, Varus, redde legiones" -- that was the wood-and-swampland where, in 9 A.D., Roman general Varus ingloriously lost a decisive battle to a bunch of German tribes commanded by a Cheruscan named Arminius.
So for all I'm concerned, I'd definitely say it qualifies -- though obviously I'd be willing to stand corrected by someone who has actually read the book and can say that they don't enter a single forest throughout the entire thing.
The Babes in the Wood - Ruth Rendell (also qualifies for "Murder Most Foul")
In the Forest - Edna O'Brien (also qualifies for "Murder Most Foul" and "Serial Killer")
Dreamcatcher - Stephen King (already on the "Aliens" list, I think)
The Sword in the Stone - T.H. White
The Family Tree - Sheri S. Tepper
Wildwood Dancing -- ISBN: 9780375833649
Heart's Blood -- ASIN: B002QBV8HU
Also: Susanna Clarke: "The Ladies of Grace Adieu"
Josh Malerman - Bird Box (ISBN 9780062259653).
Pretty please, does this count as 'dark, dark woods'?
Themis-Athena, have you read these books? I'm happy to include it on this list based on Books, Hockey's blurb above...
