The Way Through The Woods by Colin Dexter
A long-cold disappearance of a young Scandinavian woman near Oxford is revived when an anonymous poem in a national newspaper hints at her fate. Guided by a passion for cryptic clues, a veteran detective and his sergeant trace the wordplay to Wytham Woods, where they uncover a body and a tangle of voyeurism, illicit photography, and rare-orchid obsessions. As suspects multiply and red herrings abound, the truth emerges from layers of misdirection to reveal the tragic end of a carefully concealed crime.
