Resumen del Editor

"Riveting from page one to the last breathless word."—Rebecca Makkai, New York Times bestselling author of I Have Some Questions For You

“Brilliant, riveting .. an epic mystery, a family saga and a survival guide...I loved this book.”—Miranda Cowley Heller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace

When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites listeners into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An immersive reading experience that will draw audiences. Its explorations of class, crime, and family dynamics, in addition to Moore’s incredible storytelling, will appeal to readers of Lisa Jewell, Tana French, and Lucy Foley."Library Journal, STARRED review

"Rich in background detail and secondary mysteries. . .this ever-expansive, intricate, emotionally engaging novel never seems overplotted. Every piece falls skillfully into place and every character, major and minor, leaves an imprint."Kirkus, STARRED review

Gripping and revelatory...The beautiful and dangerous wilderness setting enhances the suspense as the narrative builds to a dramatic final act...This astonishes.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

Editorial Review

“When lost, sit down and yell”
I’ve been a huge fan of Liz Moore since her memorable novel Long Bright River wowed me in 2020. It also kept me up all night, speed-listening until I finished the last chapter. When I heard Moore was releasing a new novel, not only did I know that The God of the Woods would be an auto-download, I was also prepared for another sleepless night. And sleep I did not. This haunting and heartbreaking story centers on a 13-year-old camper who goes missing 14 years after her older brother vanished in the same Adirondack woods. Alternating between present day and flashback, Saskia Maarleveld’s narration is captivating, echoing the story’s eerie atmospheric tension and rich complex characters. Her ability to convey deep emotions and suspense enriches this thrilling journey through one family’s troubled legacy that builds to a dramatic final act. I would gladly forgo another night of sleep to go back and listen to this one from the beginning again. — Margaret H., Audible Editor

Ending

The ending could have been so much more intense and interesting. The twist, if you want to call it that, was very lackluster.

Character development

The narrator was excellent. The description of 1961 and 1975 intriguing and thoughtful and historically reflects women’s roll in society. Wonderful portrayal of strong female characters . The Adirondacks are beautiful and mysterious. The plot twist at the end -well I can’t say enough good things about this book. It made me cry. It was beautiful and so well written and I always love a mystery.

Good story telling

The story, pacing, etc of this book has made me (and others) think of Donna Tartts - the Secret History. Another book about those who have and haven’t with secrets and intertwined families and relationships and…. Secrets. A great listen for a long drive and for those who have read it… can’t put it down. (I only gave it a 4 because I’m not feeling like Raving about it. But I will recommend it as good, tight story telling….. although I am leaving a review - which is rare… so… maybe a 4.5 :)…)

Riveting!

So deftly woven, this story of dysfunction and families who favor reputation over authenticity and truth, but within are heroes who carry the exciting story with courage and hope. Which characters are they?

Beautiful Story! Great mystery!

Liz Moore is one of my favorite authors. This is another novel where you grow to really care about the characters but also get sucked into a great mystery! I loved this one, and I loved the narrator!

Story

This was a great book. I listen to my books everyday when I walk and when driving in the car. The story was great and the audio reader did a great job too. I would think I had the "who did it" figured out several times and boy was I surprised. Loved it.

Okay mystery

Excellent reader, but I found it to be a bit scattered in terms of development of the characters. Some of the plot-lines seemed hackneyed to me.

All the good things

I really enjoyed this read. The characters were rich, and the story was very layered. It kept me guessing and completely devoted until the very last word -this book is definitely worth your time.
