"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. And this isn't the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared in this region. Barbara's older brother also went missing 16 years earlier, never to be found. How could this have happened yet again? Out of this gripping beginning, Liz Moore weaves a ... textured drama, both emotionally nuanced and propelled by a double-barreled mystery"--

couldn’t put this down

Wonderfully written, thought provoking, a mystery that reveals the truth in bits and pieces, …Woods is a pleasure to read. I could not put it down. The map is great. Character list is needed.

The perfect puzzle

I love how Liz Moore would continuously change POVs and points in time to tell the story. The talent for it to all make sense while also captivating the reader making you want to read more is outstanding. Whenever I thought I had it figured out, someone else would give me a POV that changed everything. I also enjoyed how the different POVs gave you insight to everyone’s perspectives in the story. As the book went on all of the different perspectives perfectly come together into a gorgeous puzzle that leaves you with a satisfying ending.

The woods were also a character

Well written yet I would’ve preferred it being about 50 pages less. Characters were fleshed out yet moving time back-and-forth was a bit tedious. Still it is the best seller.

Great book - had me from page 1.....

Really good read - could not put it down - and at the end, all the loose ends were tied up. I thought I hadit all figured out - but I was wrong. Well written - recommend!
