About the author
Liz Moore is an American novelist whose books combine literary character work with structures drawn from crime and mystery fiction. She has taught creative writing and has written about families, addiction, policing, class, and the institutions surrounding vulnerable people.
The God of the Woods uses a missing child at an Adirondack camp to connect two decades of one wealthy family's history. Its rotating viewpoints give equal narrative weight to people whose social positions would not receive equal weight inside the investigation.
Where to start
Start with The God of the Woods for a multigenerational mystery, or Long Bright River for a Philadelphia story joining two sisters to an investigation.
