Mystery

A mystery spanning the 1950s - 1970s, set at a bushcraft summer camp. 

The two mysteries and timelines are layered with each other. 

I did not fully expect the resolution to the chronologically earlier mystery, although I did start to suspect it about 3/4 of the way through the novel. However I'd also thought that there was another possible perpetrator. I didn't buy the solution that seemed the most obvious, however. 

I was somehow less curious about the second mystery, but I did appreciate the resolution of that one too. 

At first I had trouble getting into the book, but I was pretty invested before I was 100 pages in. But then I didn't want to finish it! I just didn't want it to be over so I kept putting it down. 

I loved this bit with the allusions:

I also really liked this bit about relationships:

Overall, a great book.
