This book was simply amazing. It was gripping and suspenseful from the first page. Paul Copeland is searching for answers surrounding the death of his sister 20 years ago. He simply cannot let her death go - mainly because her body was never found. When the body of the man his sister was with that fateful night is found recently murdered, Paul has to get to the truth, no matter the consequences. Harlan Coben definitely delivers with "The Woods." This is a can't-put-it-down, edge-of-your-seat read that must not be missed!!
