July's selection is The God of the Woods by Liz Moore.

Join us on Tuesday, July 28 at 1 p.m. to discuss The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. “When Louise notices that camper Barbara is missing, she knows there's trouble. Barbara is a Van Laar, daughter of the owners of Camp Emerson, whose estate, SelfReliance, sits on the same grounds where the family's annual party is being held. Plus, Barbara's brother Bear went missing a dozen years earlier, and their mother, Alice, never really recovered. Moore (Long Bright River, 2020) deftly weaves several time lines together, mainly early summer 1975, when Barbara unexpectedly shows up at camp and befriends loner Tracy; August 1975, as the search is mounted, through the eyes of novice investigator Judy Luptack; and 1961 and the mission to find Bear before it's too late. In 1975, campers suspect the legendary Jacob Sluiter, or Slitter, a serial killer who has just escaped from prison, but the truth, when it is revealed in the final pages, is much more surprising and satisfying. The God of the Woods is an exploration of the differences between the haves and the have-nots and the stifling roles for women of all ages mixed with a police procedural and a family drama. Moore manages it all smoothly, resulting in a compulsively readable novel that will appeal to fans of mysteries and historical fiction alike.” -Booklist
