ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2024

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST THRILLER OF 2024

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST CRIME NOVEL OF 2024

PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR

A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY TOP 10 PICK OF 2024

ONE OF NPR’S “BOOKS WE LOVE” 2024

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S “100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024”

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY:
REAL SIMPLE ● OPRAH DAILY ● NEWSWEEK ● VULTURE

“Extraordinary . . . Reminds me of Donna Tartt’s 1992 debut, The Secret History . . . I was so thoroughly submerged in a rich fictional world, that for hours I barely came up for air.” —Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR

“This expertly paced thriller ...has the kineticism of a well-crafted miniseries.”
—The New Yorker

When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Decent book-
4 星（最高 5 星）
Decent book-
This was a decently good read, so if your looking for a book to keep you occupied I recommend. I finished it in 4 days, the only thing I have to say is that there are so many different characters with side stories that go absolutely nowhere. The unnecessary dialogues left me feeling confused when I finished the book, usually when there are a lot of different characters I keep track pretty well- not with this one tho. If there was more “body” so to speak to the multiple different narratives/story lines of 10 plus characters I would be able to track what’s happening to who or what, altogether it would make more sense. A book that succeeds at that is What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross which I highly recommend. It seemed the author tried to write chapters similar to how Ross did due to the chapter’s spotlighting characters and their background, but inevitably didn’t work as fluently(seemed to just be blended together) also was anticipating more of the Van Laars “family secrets”, I don’t mean to shout out spoilers but I can definitely say it left me thinking, “oh that’s it?”- so definitely predictable on that aspect.Never the less I enjoyed reading this book, so don’t let my opinions ruin the book for you lol. Hopeful there will be a sequel released that ties up the loose ends left by the author.

    I love the unusual and different setting of a camp ground for a mystery novel!! This book is a page turner with a cast of interesting characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in a few days. It is well written and perfect for my book club.

    4.0 颗星，最多 5 颗星 Like a Great Movie with a Disappointing Ending

    What a pager turner. Worthy of a comparison to Kate Atkinson. The layers, the nuance, the character development - all outstanding and what an art it is to put together a plot like this and tie it all together. The perspective Liz Moore has from a character viewpoint is amazing. These are not cardboard cutout characters.

    ***Spoiler Alert!

    But after the big search, the junior investigator Judy finds Barbara and just says “are you ok, do you want me to leave you alone?” Hard to believe, and one logistic concern - how did Judy get promoted on solving that case? Go back and tell everyone Barbara is alive and well but wants to be left alone?

    5.0 颗星，最多 5 颗星 A Masterly Crafted, Well-Written Whodunnit
    2025年1月22日在美国发布评论
    已确认购买
    The God of the Woods lives up to the hype. It’s a masterfully crafted, well-written whodunnit filled with well laid out clues and cleverly placed red herrings.

    The answers are all there, it’s just a matter of putting the pieces together. I’m usually good at figuring out ‘who did it,’ but not in this case. When all is revealed you’re like “Duh, of course! Why didn’t I put that together?” At least it’s was that way for me.

    Be forewarned that this is not a happy book. It involves missing children and the majority of the characters are unlikeable, but you cheer for the likable ones. That being said, you need to know what happens so you keep guessing and turning those pages.

    I was the only one in my book club that gave it five stars most others gave it four with a few threes thrown in, because they didn’t like the ending. I, however, thought both conclusions were fitting and made sense given everything we learned. The God of the Woods is a good choice for a buddy read or a book club, because you want to talk about it when you finish it.

    5.0 颗星，最多 5 颗星 The third rule of Camp Emerson is the most important, ‘When lost sit down and yell.’
    2024年7月8日在美国发布评论

    Just like the battle cry of Pan: The Greek God of the Woods.

    Situated in the Adirondack Mountains is the Van Laar Preserve. Atop its ridge is the Van Laar’s colossal summer home, named Self-Reliance. Far below, is the camp they own, Camp Emerson, which is open to campers eight weeks of the year (June to August).

    July 1961: 8-year-old, Peter “Bear” Van Laar the fourth (the only child of Peter the third and his wife Alice) vanishes without a trace while hiking with his grandfather (Peter II) in the Adirondacks near the family home Self-Reliance. Following an extensive search no trace of him is ever found.

    August 1975: The girls in Balsam cabin, Camp Emerson, awaken to find 13-year-old Barbara’s bunk bed empty. Barbara’s surname is also Van Laar – she’s Bear’s younger sister, born after his disappearance, to replace the void he left.

    Is the Van Laar line cursed? Surely it can’t be a coincidence that they’re two children from the same privileged family! Or are they simply two separate unrelated tragedies? What happened to Bear, and then Barbara?

    If I could rate The God of the Woods 14 stars (for the 14 cabins of Camp Emerson) then I absolutely positivity would, but I guess 5 stars is enough to convey just how immersive, momentous, and affecting it was. A flawlessly written epic masterpiece of literary suspense fiction, and deep dive character study. There were twists that left me reeling over how shockingly clever they were, and Liz Moore’s use of misdirection and carefully concealed clues were meticulously placed. Every once and a while there is a book that comes along that is so special that I find myself taking much longer than normal to read it, inhaling every word, and taking frequent breaks to reflect on the plot, and characters, to prolong the experience, and The God of the Woods was one such example.

    The story contained many gothic elements which increased my sense of unease and claustrophobia tenfold. A prickling sensation at the back of my neck permeated the novel from the very first page. First up, was the secluded setting, far enough away from the nearest town of Shattuck to be isolating, surrounded by endless wilderness and the looming Hunt Mountain, with Lake Joan cutting them off even further. Then there were the dilapidated log cabins, once used for hunting parties, complete with unused fireplaces, whose chimneys were occasionally inhabited by bats. Not to mention the origins of Self-Reliance – there was something off-putting and out-of-place about it previously being a Chalet in Switzerland, transported by ship to New York piece-by-piece and then reassembled on the Van Laar Preserve. As expected, there were numerous campfire style legends circulating – whispered stories warning of Slitter, of Scary Mary, and Old John. And last but not least, the plot was built around not one, but two disturbing enthralling mysteries.

    Those who know me are aware that I love a summer camp setting and this novel contained everything I wanted in one – new friendships, secretive and untrustworthy behaviour, counsellors and campers sneaking around after dark, campfires, sing-a-longs, swimming, hiking, a camper survival trip in the woods, and an end of summer dance. The vivid and intricate descriptions of the campgrounds really brought Camp Emerson to life. There was also a handy map included at the front of the book, showing the layout of the grounds and buildings.

    And I was thrilled that the author chose to set the camp story arc in the 70's – I adored the nostalgic trip, the slang, and pop culture references. The 1950’s/1960’s timelines were equally compelling. Instead of Camp Emerson, that plot focused on Self-Reliance and Peter and Alice's marriage within its walls, and of course, Bear's disappearance, and what lead up to it, and the fallout resulting from it.

    The majority of the POV’s were pre-teen/teenage girls and twenty-something women (with the exception of Alice in 1975. She was 41 by this stage), and most of them were damaged or broken (and given what they'd been dealt in life I'm not surprised), beaten down and trapped by their circumstances. Back then women were considered inferior – utterly dependent on the men in their lives to make decisions for them regarding how to look, act, and behave. And a lot of the male characters in this book took advantage of this – were dismissive, controlling and abusive. Not only that when female characters were abused by men, they saw it as their failure, and thought it was them who needed to change, who needed to be more compliant. And those who did take a stand were belittled, mocked, and shunned, by both men and women, for not conforming to the norm.

    Class, prejudice, injustice, and resentment was another prominent theme. With the Van Laar family and their rich, entitled friends on one side, and the locals from Shattuck (including camp staff, counsellors, household staff, and caretakers) on the other. Self-Reliance, sat high on the hill, on prominent display, lording it over everyone, literally and figuratively, looking down on people. Even its name, Self-Reliance, was an exclusion, a slap in the face for the townspeople, implying that the Van Laar’s had build it themselves with no assistance, when it had been the entire eligible male population of Shattuck who had done so, with no help from the Van Laar’s. And even the fact that the camp staff quarters were situated way down lake from Self-Reliance in the farthest south corner possible, placed in the half of the camp separated by a creek, spoke volumes.

    The God of the Woods was in my opinion a smash-hit and I strongly urge everyone to read it and experience the magic for themselves. My top read for 2024 so far. Actually, top read full stop.

    Este livro foi uma surpresa bem agradável. Não conhecia a escritora, mas resolvi tentar pq o livro foi considerado um dos melhores do ano pelo NYTimes.
    A história é muito boa, a narrativa é feita indo e vindo entre presente e passado, o q, a princípio, pode parecer ruim, mas não é, pois ajuda a manter o suspense. Os personagens são bem construídos e se mantem interessantes até o final.

    This is the best thriller I’ve read in a long time. So well written. I was totally absorbed in the mystery. The characters are believable and the story unfolds perfectly over the years. I will be reading more of Liz Moore’s books. Very well done 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
