Description
When a teenager vanishes from an exclusive Adirondack summer camp, detective work unravels a mystery that stretches across decades and exposes the dark underbelly of wealth and privilege. Liz Moore weaves together the lives of everyone connected to the disappearance—from the Van Laar family's generations of secrets to the camp counselors and investigators searching for answers—in a sophisticated, page-turning narrative that explores how the pursuit of appearances can devastate lives. This is as much a story about family dysfunction, class, and moral compromise as it is about a missing child, revealing how a single accident, rooted in years of accumulated wrongs, can shatter a carefully constructed world. Moore's meticulous storytelling pulls readers into a labyrinth of clues and character revelations that challenge assumptions at every turn. A haunting literary mystery that lingers long after the final page, *The God of the Woods* is a testament to Moore's mastery of complex narratives and human complexity.
