The Body in the Woods by April Henry

Full disclosure, I’m friends with April, but that is exactly why I was familiar with her books and had bought and read many of them at the time I started writing my own. One of the cool things about this book is that April was inspired to write this book by a real-life teen-led search and rescue group that has been credited with helping solve dozens of homicides. It’s such a cool concept and the book does not disappoint.
