When a teenage girl vanishes from an exclusive Adirondack summer camp in 1975, the search unearths more than anyone bargained for—including the unsolved disappearance of her younger brother, fourteen years earlier. The God of the Woods is Liz Moore at her finest: a masterfully woven mystery that pulls you deep into the shadowed forests of upstate New York and refuses to let go.
Moore, acclaimed author of Long Bright River, crafts a propulsive dual-timeline narrative that moves between the 1950s and 1970s, peeling back layers of family secrets, privilege, and the wilderness that both shelters and threatens. The Van Laar family—wealthy, isolated, and fractured—becomes the center of a mystery that spans generations. As local law enforcement and a tenacious young detective dig into the case, the forest itself seems to hold answers that no one wants to hear.
What makes this novel extraordinary is Moore’s ability to blend atmospheric suspense with deeply human storytelling. Her prose is both elegant and accessible, her characters complex and achingly real. The Adirondack setting becomes a character unto itself—dense, mysterious, and alive with possibility.
Perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Tana French, this is literary fiction that reads like a thriller, a page-turner that lingers long after you’ve closed the covers. Whether you’re curled up by the fire or stretched out on a beach blanket, The God of the Woods will transport you to a world where the past never stays buried and the truth is worth searching for.
