In Kate Lice Marshall's adult debut "What Lies in the Woods," friendship dynamics are tested when someone threatens to reveal a long-held secret. When Naomi was 11, she spent every waking moment with her best friends, Cassidy and Olivia, frolicking through the Washington woods in search of adventure. Instead, the girls found tragedy that marked them as heroes when their testimonies put a suspected serial killer behind bars. More than 20 years later, the news of the killer's death in prison does little to settle the questions Naomi always had about that night. When Olivia threatens to crack about the secret they all kept, Naomi is forced to return to the scene to fortify her friendships (and secrets) or risk losing everything.
