Kay's Reviews > What Lies in the Woods

3.5⭐
Twenty-two years ago, three girls were playing in the woods, and one was stabbed 17 times. She survived. They did put a man behind bars for the attack. Now that he's dead, they have reunited once again.

Overly self-doubt MCs usually turn me off. In this case, Naomi begins to question her memory of the attack over two decades ago and the guy is already dead. A little too late?

I give props to the author because although this bugs me, it didn't make me dislike Naomi. I enjoyed the podcast angle and the MC has an interesting relationship with her boyfriend and father.

What Lies in the Woods reminds me of a true crime story. If you read it, let me know what you think!

This is my first book by Kate Alice Marshall and I think it's very readable. I certainly enjoyed it even though I figured out the twist and was greatly disappointed with the ending. I like the writing style and I'll definitely read more from her in the future.

Narrated by Karissa Vacker, this was a very enjoyable listen. I might just listen to other authors with her narrating them.

Thank you Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for my ALC.
