'If you venture into those woods you’re still sure of a big surprise’ The Times
Some said it was tragic, what happened to the Van Laars.
Some said the family deserved it. That they never even thanked the searchers who stayed out for five nights in the freezing forest trying to help find their missing son.
Some said there was a reason it took the family so long to call for help. That they knew what happened to the boy.
Now, fifteen years later, the Van Laars' teenage daughter has gone missing in the same wilderness as her brother. Some say the two disappearances aren’t connected.
Some say they are.

My favourite read of 2024
I love the drama with which this novel unfolded.
And there’s enough subtext here to write university thesis.
So many lessons within so well told the story

Anticlimactic
Too many characters to follow and a whole lot of irrelevant waffle. I pushed through for some great ending, but alas, I was sorely disappointed.
Perhaps I’m too used to clever twists and plots to really enjoy this one. Having said that it’s fine for just a regular story I suppose.
