Autumn thriller

NIGHTWOODS
By
Charles Frazier
Hodder and Stoughton. 336 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 444 731 279

If you’re looking for a good autumn book to curl up with and get lost in, then Nightwoods is a good place to start.

Both a gripping thriller and a beautifully drawn picture of place and time, it will engage brain and imagination. Charles Frazier’s first book, Cold Mountain, won national awards and was made into an Oscar-winning film. This, his third, is heading in the same direction because of its detailed description and pace.
