Should I listen to God of the Woods?

I listen to a lot of books and after a long wait this is available from the library. I’m okay with suspense but don’t like violent / very scary or sick or injured children. I was fine with The Secret History, so I don’t avoid all books with dark story lines.
Is God of the Woods disturbing/ something I should avoid? I can’t tell and don’t want to read too many reviews / ruin it if I do listen. Thanks! |

I'm listening to it right now! I'm really liking it. It's a soap opera-mystery and not deep but a good summer read. Rich people/poor people/teen angst/the 70s/the outdoors/cop investigators. There is crime but I don't find it particularly violent or very disturbing. I am about half-way through. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It's a plot-driven novel with a good plot that slowly unfolds. Intrigue.
It's long. About 14 hours. |

| If you listened to Secret History, you are fine. Mostly just suspense vs graphic descriptions of violence. I read it so can't comment on the narrator. |

| It’s not disturbing, more suspenseful. |

| I just finished reading it (and enjoyed it as an escapist read) and did not find it disturbing. |

| Not disturbing, but also not very compelling. |

| It’s not gory other than in small parts. I would say more sad than suspenseful really. |

Another vote for not compelling, I did not care about the characters, nor the plot. |
