These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant
First published November 16, 2021; Kindle edition
My rating: 5 of 5 starsCharacter driven, this thriller also has strong plotlines. I followed the complex individuals with interest as their personal dilemmas and choices were the backbone of the plot.
A father-daughter relationship and single parenthood under strenuous and difficult circumstances led Cooper and young Flicker to live alone in the woods for eight years, hidden from family and law enforcement who would want to find them and drive them apart.
I loved the surprising twists at the end of the book, which was quite emotional as well as suspenseful.

Re-reading these two books because I enjoyed them and laughed so much while reading these humorous authors:
