Two families go to a resort in the woods. When one couple is murdered and their teenaged daughter goes missing the police (and the other mother) try to find the missing girl and the killer.
The first part was kind of dull, but it picked up at the end.
4 stars.

Quick read. Very little gore.

P.I. Holly Gibney is back, this time acting as a bodyguard to a women's rights activist. On the side, she's helping her detective friend, Izzy, work a serial killer case.
No supernatural stuff in this one, just plain old human evil.

Picked this to fulfill a Goodreads challenge even though I'm pretty sure I read it once upon a time.
