A cautiously suspenseful novel about a woman coming back to her hometown, but who goes missing after wandering into the woods searching for mushrooms.
Hazel is a bit broken, coming back to Idless after a divorce. She reconnects with her sister Cathy and friend Susie. The woods have supernatural elements, the horror is understated, very eerie and atmospheric. I found the pacing to be great that the beginning but it got slow (for me) near the end. I did enjoy the plot and felt satisfied at the conclusion.
Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur books for the ARC. Book to be published April 27, 2025.
