A review by scknitter
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore

5.0

Liz Moore has written a mesmerizing tale of wealth and privilege and how that privilege and arrogance impacts others for years to come. This is a beautifully written story of a love for the land and of the people who try to encourage others to feel the same way but at the same time how they must go along with things that are against all they believe in order to protect those they love. When a 13-year-old girl disappears from a prestigious summer camp, the past comes barreling back to raise questions that should have been asked when her 8-year-old brother disappeared from the same area 14 years earlier and was never found. You will get to know all of the characters intimately – some you will despise; some you will pity and others you will root for. This is as much a story about family dynamics – the good, the bad and the very ugly – as it is about the disappearance of two children years apart.
