A review by koeeoaddi
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore

3.0

Half way through I was thinking, "cool, at last a novel set in the 60s and early 70s with no glaring anachronisms, no one saying "Get a life!" or humming a Taylor Swift song." About 2/3s through I realized that the reason for that is that the book is pretty generic in generational markers and dialog, with not much beyond a few references to anchor it to that period in time. In fact, it could have been-- and might have been better -- set in the 90s/2000s. I found that, ...disappointing.

On the other hand, the puzzle was fun, the whodunnit was not glaringly obvious. 2.5
