Review: The God of the Woods by Liz Moore
Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods is a compelling blend of mystery, family drama, and suspense, set against the atmospheric backdrop of an Adirondack summer camp. When Barbara Van Laar, the daughter of the camp’s wealthy owners, vanishes in 1975, it ignites a tense and gripping search—especially given that her older brother disappeared under eerily similar circumstances 14 years earlier.
Moore masterfully weaves multiple storylines and perspectives, diving deep into family secrets, class divisions, and the weight of the past. The novel is both a psychological thriller and an intricate family saga, rich with detail and emotional depth. With its lush, immersive writing and slow-burning suspense, this book will keep readers captivated until the final, shocking revelation.
Perfect for fans of Tana French and Donna Tartt, The God of the Woods is a must-read for lovers of literary mysteries with deep character exploration.
