In our weekly look at books, we focus on Waterstones Thriller of the Month for August…
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore is a white-knuckle ride of a literary thriller that centres on the inscrutable Van Laar family and whether their odd reactions to the disappearance of two of their children hide a guilty secret.
When their 13-year-old daughter Barbara goes missing at summer camp, all eyes fall on the family.
They’re cold, rich people. They own the camp, and it’s happened to them before.
Fifteen years ago, their little boy, Bear, vanished without a trace.
Two children lost to the same wilderness.
Is it a tragedy… or a crime?
