Great premise for a mystery series, love the setting and the group of sleuths, Look forward to more in this series.

I received a free copy from NetGalley. Three teens come together when they all join a search and rescue team and find a dead body that was not what they were searching for at the time. None of them are "traditional" teens and they get to know themselves and each other better as they help hunt for the killer. A little slow, I thought it was worth the effort to keep moving through it.

I am sorry I waited so long to review this book I got several years ago. The Body in the Woods starts off slow, but picks up the pace quickly, and even though it's apparent half-way through who the bad guy is (by the author's design), it's impossible to put the book down because, obviously, I had to find out how it ends.

All in all, a very good YA thriller, also touching on homelessness, different types of mental illness, and growing up in single-parent households.

The story started off flat and I was uninterested. It did not grip me like I had hoped it would, the description was intriguing but it just didn’t capture my attention.

This book was billed as a thriller and didn't live up to that hype. The killer was totally obvious from the very beginning. I thought this was categorized as adult fiction, but read much more like a YA.
