I enjoy family sagas as a rule, and this was generally well-written and engaging, but at times the timeline and characters were a little confusing and not well-enough delineated.

Barbara van Laar disappears overnight from her summer camp cabin, sending ripples through the whole community of campers and her well-to-do family.  More than a dozen years previously her brother had also disappeared from the same location.

A mysterious, ghostly woman, Scary Mary, stalks the forest;  a suspected serial killer is on the run from prison; camp counsellors have secrets to keep.

Purposely set in the 1970s when societal norms were different, this is an at times unflinching look at upper class society and their behaviour towards the communities they "honour with their presence", what we do for family, and justice.

This novel felt slightly long to me, with perhaps one too many characters, but essentially a good read and an author I may read more of
