On his website Scott Loring Sanders claims to love puzzles. His latest book, The Hanging Woods, mimics that love by presenting readers with clues, stories, notes...all pieces of a large picture that you can't clearly see until the end. However, when everything fits together and you have that "ah-ha!" moment, you can't help but appreciate a good puzzle yourself.
Walter, Mothball, and Jimmy are all friends. They even become blood brothers. But when the pranks they pull on each other turn mean and go too far, who will stand up for what is right?
This book has some bizarre elements. There are some inferences that you must draw, there are some situations that seem really grotesque. It is not a quick and easy ready. In fact, I had a hard time identifying with the main character and his "problems". However, it is still a story full of intrigue and right down until the last page, Sanders has you guessing - stuck is his tangled web, unable to get out, with no idea what is coming next.
