Review

The "Woods"? are where Emily played as a child; where Damon played kinky sex games, and where Ashlee Parker was killed. Emily's father, a vet with PTSD, found Ashlee's body and carried it to his kitchen table. Now he is accused of her murder, and Emily must discover the truth. Told in the alternating voices of Emily and Damon, The Killing Woods is edgy and dark and a great read. Although the novel has received some luke-warm reviews, I think it is very fine, and recommend it for CREAM.

Overall Book Score: excellent
