The Body Among The Pines, a heart-pounding thriller and suspense novel by author Esther P. Goodwin, introduces Kacy Roe, a successful YouTuber who's obsession with abandoned places takes her on an emotional journey that she will never forget.

Kacy Roe's life consists of two things: being in front of a camera and trespassing. As a YouTube sensation, she shows the world what it's like to remember the places that were left behind. However, she never dared to revisit the place she left right after graduating high school--her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had made a vow years ago, after the unfortunate death of her mother, that she'd never return.

Then one morning Kacy’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous phone call, informing her of her estranged father's heart attack. Though hesitant to revisit the past, she rushes back to her hometown of Oklahoma, hoping to find him well. After getting him home, she embarks on another exploration to create more content for her channel. But things take an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a dead body at the infamous Camp Mercy, an abandoned summer camp, just a stone's throw away from her childhood home.

With the police now involved, Kacy runs into an old flame, the detective on the case, adding a layer of complicated emotions to an already tense situation. She swore she'd never return, however, now she needs to make a decision. Not wanting to have returned home in the first place, Kacy weighs her family values and lost love over wanting to solve a murder in hopes to break the internet, even if it means putting herself in harm's way. Will she be able to solve the case before it's too late? And will she finally confront her past and embrace her future?

The Body Among The Pines is a gripping and emotional thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
