In a Dark and Lovely Wood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999441461)

A summer-camp wedding. A serial killer on the loose. And a wedding party trapped in the woods.

Allie's once best friend is tying the knot at a nostalgic summer-camp-themed wedding in a remote forest campground. But on the drive in, the wedding party hears chilling news: a serial killer has escaped custody nearby.

Authorities insist there's no danger. The wedding goes on.

Allie hates the woods and she hates tense reunions even more. Once inseparable from the bride, she's now barely more than a courtesy invite. Still, free booze and old friends are hard to turn down.

Gabe doesn't want to attend either, but as the groom's brother, he has no choice. Ben and Gabe have been locked in a lifelong rivalry, and things are about to get worse because Gabe has a secret.

And he's not the only one.

When members of the wedding party start turning up dead, what began as a nostalgic weekend quickly spirals out of control. Cut off from help, stranded in the wilderness, and unsure who to trust, the guests must confront a horrifying question:

Is the killer stalking them from the dark woods... or hiding among them?

Told in a gripping dual timeline-set in 2004 with eerie present-day podcast snippets-this fast-paced psychological thriller blends locked-room mystery, small-town secrets, wedding drama, and slasher suspense into a page-turning whodunit that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
