Book Review : The Woods

At the heart of this compelling thriller is the question of what really happened one night in the woods? Paul 'Cope' Copeland is still haunted by that tragic night in the woods when a murderer visited the summer camp and his sister disappeared.

Two decades later, Cope's intense prosecution of two affluent college frat boys is suddenly interrupted by events that casts doubt on the official story of what happened all those years ago. Has the truth remained buried? Are some still alive? Was this all the work of a serial murderer?

To find answers, Cope must muddle through layers of an increasingly dangerous and often perplexing investigation involving a serial killer, a guilt ridden hippy, fanatical private investigators, deceptive parents, and ex-KGB agents. Yet he is compelled by guilt to continue until the truth is revealed.

If you are looking for a suspenseful summertime read, this riveting novel by Harlan Coben, bestselling author of Gone for Good and The Innocent, should be on your short list.
