Liz Moore created a beautiful world in The God Of The Woods that is filled with a wide cast of relatable characters and captures camp life perfectly.

Unlike a traditional thriller that hits you with twist after twist, the multiple POVs and timelines here serve to create a subtler tension that reeled me in and kept me interested throughout the nearly 500 pages.

Beyond a whodunit, it touches on classism and sexism in an honest way while bringing everything together in the end.
