emotional
informative
medium-paced
4.5
I struggled to keep up with all of the names and places at times, but the author did a wonderful job highlighting the humanity of missing women and girls, the neglect and discrimination by police, and the inclusion of photos and maps was helpful. Well written prose was easy to read and engaging
