Review:

Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods is a captivating and intricately woven tale that masterfully combines elements of mystery, family drama, and psychological suspense. Set against the haunting backdrop of a summer camp in the Adirondacks during the summer of 1975, the novel begins with the chilling disappearance of 13-year-old Barbara Van Laar.

Moore’s storytelling prowess shines through as she delves into the complex dynamics of the Van Laar family and the tight-knit community surrounding them. The narrative is rich with suspense and emotional depth, drawing readers into a web of secrets, traumas, and hidden motives. The setting itself, with its dense woods and eerie atmosphere, adds an extra layer of tension and becomes almost a character in its own right.

The character development in The God of the Woods is exceptional. Moore skillfully portrays the struggles and resilience of her characters, making them deeply relatable and sympathetic. The young and determined assistant investigator, Judy Luptack, stands out as she navigates a male-dominated field to uncover the truth behind the Van Laar family’s tragedies.

One of the novel’s standout features is its ability to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The plot twists and turns, maintaining a high level of suspense throughout. Moore’s meticulous attention to detail and her skillful weaving of multiple storylines make for a compelling and intricate read.

Overall, The God of the Woods is a beautifully written and devilishly clever work that will leave readers enthralled. It’s a testament to Liz Moore’s talent as a storyteller and her ability to craft a narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. This book is a must-read for fans of literary fiction and suspenseful mysteries.
