"Utterly riveting. What Lies in the Woods is a stunner--dark,
unflinching, and as twisty and sharp as a tangle of
thorns."

couldn't stop reading. Readers will love What Lies in the
Woods, an exciting new voice in the genre."

other thrillers is terrific writing...Great writing and boldly
drawn characters bring a terrifying tale to all-too-vivid
life."

complicated dynamics of childhood friendships and the powerful
effect that memory has in shaping narratives...In a novel filled
with emotional depth and convincing red herrings, Marshall delivers
a propulsive mystery about trust, secrets, and
friendships."

Woods is a gorgeous fever dream of a novel about the
dangers lurking in the hearts and imaginations of little girls.
Marshall deftly charts a winding path through her creepy woods,
doubling back and changing course to build a labyrinth of secrets
and lies in which I was delighted to lose myself for hours. Hands
down, it's the best thriller I've read in a long, long
time."

and redemption told in poetic prose with deeply layered
characters. Marshall's master storytelling is gripping and

herrings...We're in the hands of a phenomenal
storyteller...Marshall shows she can't put a foot wrong with this
confident debut in the adult thriller genre, spinning an
intricately compelling tale of friendship and magic, sorrow and
betrayal wrapped up in a suspenseful murder mystery."
