The Briars
Thank you Atria Books and Simon Audio for this gifted copy.
As soon as I see that a book is set in the Pacific Northwest, I am immediately grabbing it and devouring it!
The Briars as a mystery that shows the beauty of nature contrasted with the ugliness of mankind.

From the very beginning, I was drawn into the murder mystery and deeper into the woods as the search for answers created more questions. Then, the twists and turns kept popping up like switchbacks on a hiking trail. I found it hard to choose which path and character could be trusted right up until the very end.

The alternating perspectives and revelations of each POV work so well with the full cast of narrators and made it impossible to press pause. I couldn’t help but get swept up in the atmosphere of the woods and the suspense as the mystery unfolded.

The mystery was a slow burn, but the story moves at a steady pace, and I ended up binging the whole book in a little over a day.

If you are looking to get lost in a mystery and the woods, then you have got to pick up this book! Then, you will also find yourself like me and want a sequel because you are not ready to leave this town or the characters behind.
