The God of the Woods

From the When Barbara Van Laar is discovered missing from her summer camp bunk one morning in August 1975, it triggers a panicked, terrified search. Losing a camper is a horrific tragedy under any circumstances, but Barbara isn’t just any camper, she’s the daughter of the wealthy family who owns the camp--as well as the opulent nearby estate, and most of the land in sight.

How could this have happened yet again?; Out of this gripping beginning, Liz Moore weaves a richly textured drama, both emotionally nuanced and propelled by a double-barreled mystery.

Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet,
