When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

I am enjoying this so far but nothing has really stood out for me aside from the fact that I want to shake Louise! You have the right to remain silent!! You have the right to an attorney!! You’ve done nothing, there is nothing that can be pinned on you, everything is circumstantial. Refuse to speak and demand an attorney!! I expected this to be a bit scarier? I’d heard it was spooky but I’m not getting that vibe at all.
