Description

"The Body Among The Pines," a heart-pounding thriller and suspense novel by author Esther P. Goodwin, introduces Kacy Roe, a successful YouTuber who's obsession with abandoned places takes her on an emotional journey that she will never forget.

Kacy Roe's life consists of two things: being in front of a camera and trespassing. As a YouTube sensation, she shows the world what it's like to remember the places that were left behind. However, she never dared to revisit the place she left right after graduating high school--her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had made a vow years ago, after the unfortunate death of her mother, that she'd never return.

Then one morning Kacy’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous phone call, informing her of her estranged father's heart attack. Though hesitant to revisit the past, she rushes back to her hometown of Oklahoma, hoping to find him well. After getting him home, she embarks on another exploration to create more content for her channel. But things take an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a dead body at the infamous Camp Mercy, an abandoned summer camp, just a stone's throw away from her childhood home.

With the police now involved, Kacy runs into an old flame, the detective on the case, adding a layer of complicated emotions to an already tense situation. She swore she'd never return, however, now she needs to make a decision. Not wanting to have returned home in the first place, Kacy weighs her family values and lost love over wanting to solve a murder in hopes to break the internet, even if it means putting herself in harm's way. Will she be able to solve the case before it's too late? And will she finally confront her past and embrace her future?

"The Body Among The Pines" is a gripping and emotional thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Suspenseful thriller with an ending I could not have predicted. I really enjoyed reading this book. The story moved along quickly and there were lots of twists and turns. It was not predictable which I appreciate. I enjoy that the main character reconnects with an old flame and there’s an undercurrent of romance throughout. This kept the plot interesting aside from the mystery. Overall a great and very interesting read. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read an early copy!

The Body Among The Pines by Esther P. Goodwin is a compelling emotional thriller and one I personally really enjoyed.
After reading the description I was really excited to jump right into reading TBATP.
Well written plot and story line had me engaged from the start.
The characters I found them to be believable and well developed.
I enjoyed the suspense and felt as though the author really did good on touching some hard subject topics.

Overall, I liked this read and will most defiantly pick up Goodwin’s next book when it’s available.

If you are looking for a thriller/suspense novel with a YouTuber as a main character this book is for you! I read this one quickly, not wanting to put it down. I enjoyed the main character, Kacy, and her struggles in her relationships in life. I am happy with how this book ended and really enjoyed this one. Lately I have been reading a lot of books that had many characters and confusing stories. This book was one that was enjoyable and easy to follow!
