This book is both a thrilling mystery and a chance to reminisce about childhood summers spent at camp. I was impressed by Liz Moore’s ability to weave multiple timelines and perspectives into one coherent story. I did feel that some sections could have been cut or shortened. Nevertheless, the back stories and tangents don’t interrupt the plot, but rather enhance it. Overall, this is a very good story and well worth the time it took to read it.
