The God of the Woods is a novel that pulls you into a community and lets
you live there for a good length of time. In this case, it is the young
campers and counselors at a summer camp in upstate New York, along with
the members of the family who own the camp and the police called in to
look for a missing person.
The event at the heart of this story
is the disappearance of a camper, the daughter of the camp's owner. She
is also the sister of a boy who disappeared in a similar fashion years
earlier. Police are brought in to look for the missing girl and everyone
in the community begins to rethink the earlier tragedy.
Points
of view and time frames switch around from chapter to chapter as the
mystery unfurls, allowing readers to get to know all the characters
simultaneously, even when they are from different generations.
I listened to the audio which I would recommend for anyone looking for a good listen on a long ride.
