This was SO GOOD!
I'm not a camp person, not outdoorsy and I don't normally like mysteries but I was SO INTO this book!
It's not really about solving a mystery, though, it's about secrets and power dynamics and feeling trapped and wealth vs poverty, all told through the connections of this community surrounding a summer camp owned by a secretive and wealthy family.
Definitely a tense read at times and CW for harm to children and intimate partner violence. It is all masterfully written though and I found the end very satisfying in a bittersweet way
