Join the conversation with Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The God of the Woods, as she embarks on a tale of thrilling twists and disturbing disappearances.
Don’t miss the discussion with Liz Moore on her latest work, The God of the Woods, an instant New York Times bestseller and one of NPR’s 2024 “Books We Love” highlights. Out of this gripping beginning, Liz Moore weaves a richly textured drama, both emotionally nuanced and propelled by a double-barreled mystery.
