The God of the Woods
by Liz Moore
☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore falls very firmly into the ‘domestic noir’ or psychological thriller category. The plot revolves around the disappearance of two siblings, and a lot does happen in the book, but you won’t enjoy it unless you enjoy getting inside the head of the different protagonists. It’s set at a fancy summer camp in the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York, although a lot of the action also takes place in a nearby mansion, the summer home of the rich New York family that owns the camp and its surrounding woods. As well as being shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore also garnered good reviews in a number of eminent publications, including the New Yorker and the New York Times.
