"The term panic derives from Pan. The God of the woods." 🏕🌲👮🏻‍♀️

The story is set in two different times: the actual story takes place in 1975 where a girl named Barbara got missing in a vacation camp in the woods of Adirondac NY. We take part of the investigations and are able to look behind some families as it's written from the point of view of several protagonists. Regularly we go to the 60s where also a kid got missing in the same spot. There are connections and secrets we are able to discover within this story. I liked reading the book. Away from the beautiful cover the story is captivating and touching. It's not a scary thriller but nevertheless, a page turner! In the beginning it's a bit "slow-burn" but later the tension climbs high! And the plottwist in the end is unexpectedly 🩷 Read in English.

A girl disappears at camp Emmerson and it soon turns out she isn't the first to be lost in the woods... Was it really another tragedy, is she really lost or was this all planned? The Van Laar family who owns the camp seems more and more suspicious with every chapter and I was surprised and thrilled by all the secrets that slowely unreaveled!

Erst langatmig, dann super spannend

Es hat wirklich gedauert, bis ich mit dem Buch warm wurde. Aber ab ca. 40% des Buches nimmt es Fahrt auf und man möchte das Rätsel unbedingt lösen! Toller Mystery-Roman über menschliche Abgründe.

Spannender, kurzweiliger Krimi

What a book

The first 150 or so pages felt really slow and were kind of boring. But after that it got brilliant

Many persons much timeslots and complicated situations

It took a while to find the common thread. It starts very slow and then gets faster. Near the end its a little to fast for me. But it was a good read.

I somehow missed the content when i read it.

No protagonist. Unlikeable characters. A story at a snails pace. About two thirds in a likable detective emerges and claims the main role. Resolution is boring. A time waste.

Spannender gesellschaftskritischer Thriller mit gut dargestellten Figuren.

After some consideration I will change my rating to 3 or 3.5. I loved the atmospheric and quiet yet tense slow pace, but the ending felt very abrupt in comparison. So whenever I think about the book now that I have finished it, instead of remembering the genuinely great characterisation and psychology of the cast, I remember the feeling of “That’s it..?” I got at the end.
