Sinossi
È l'estate del 1975 quando Barbara Van Laar, adolescente problematica, scompare da Camp Emerson, il campo estivo fondato dalla sua ricca famiglia nel parco delle Adirondack. La notizia fa subito scalpore: anni prima anche suo fratello Bear è sparito nei boschi in circostanze misteriose, e non è mai stato ritrovato. La giovane investigatrice Judyta Luptack comprende subito che tutti nascondono qualcosa: gli uomini della famiglia, che ai tempi di Bear hanno tardato a chiamare i soccorsi; la madre dei ragazzi, incapace di riprendersi dal dolore; il capitano della polizia, che ancora una volta ha fretta di trovare un colpevole, e Tracy, l'unica amica di Barbara al campo e l'unica a conoscere i suoi movimenti segreti. Mentre le indagini procedono, passato e presente si intrecciano, mettendo in luce tradimenti, menzogne, conflitti e giochi di potere. In questo romanzo, Liz Moore mescola thriller e dramma familiare, raccontando una comunità dove ricchezza e benessere diventano gabbie che imprigionano affetti, desideri e ambizioni. Con uno stile limpido e ammaliante, "Il dio dei boschi" si addentra nelle contraddizioni umane come nel folto di una foresta impenetrabile, e ci consegna un ritratto memorabile della giovinezza, dell'amicizia e delle seconde possibilità che la vita concede quando si ha il coraggio di cambiarne le regole.

I think I want to grade, define, declare, and devour this book beyond terms and genres because no other words can weigh my thoughts and adoration! Ladies and gentlemen who appreciate great literature, this book is for us! It is the cure to my depressed soul, restless every July, searching for a good Leggi tutto
Okay, lots of thoughts on this one. Going to try to unpack them all here. The God of the Woods starts out really well. I found the beginning to be compelling, with lots of interesting characters and perspectives. But then as the investigation into Barbara's disappearance heats up, a few things starte Leggi tutto
After some thought, I've decided to round down my rating on this one. I think I was swayed by the positive ratings of others, but this book just wasn't as impressive as I was expecting given all the starred reviews bestowed on it (Kirkus; Publisher's Weekly). The mystery is pretty good and well-layer Leggi tutto
So boring. Too many people to keep track of ( some with multiple names) Jumping timeline that confuses you as well I was hoping the end would have shocked me but, negative, I was annoyed. I could summarize it in a few paragraphs, not hours of reading SPOILERS: Alice is depressed and over medicated. Asks Leggi tutto
Finallyyyyyyy. Worth almost 500 pages? No. But I am glad I pushed through and finished! A mystery at a summer camp was exactly what I needed to finish out my summer reading. If you dnf’d, you can read the last like 15-25 pages to see how it ends/ish lol
Not gonna lie, they really had me on the first half (first 10% actually). Writing style, ambiance, all good. Then it lost me. I didn't care about anyone. Let her be lost; let all of them be lost, actually. I'll just go take a nap at one of the other cabins.
I think I would be a great detective and then I read something like this and realise that I would be immediately demoted to traffic
Tragic The God of the Woods is a quiet mystery/drama about the disappearance of a 13-year-old girl at a summer camp in 1975.

i'm constantly running behind bandwagons, approximately 4-12 months late. https://emmareadstoomuch.substack.com... this one was a fun ride. (get it? because i finally managed to catch the wagon? so then i was riding on it? and also there's the expression of "fun ride"? whatever. i'm wasted on you peop Leggi tutto
