Goodreads: The thrilling story of a university student's sudden disappearance, the woman who became obsessed with her case, and the crime writer who uncovered the chilling truth about what happened...
In 2011, Zoe Nolan walked out of her dormitory in Manchester and was never seen or heard from again. Her case went cold. Her story was sad, certainly, but hardly sensational, crime writer Joseph Knox thought. He wouldn't have given her any more thought were it not for his friend, Evelyn Mitchell. Another writer struggling to come up with a new idea, Evelyn was wondering just what happened to all the girls who go missing. What happened to the Zoe Nolan's of the world?
Evelyn began investigating herself, interviewing Zoe's family and friends, and emailing Joseph with chapters of the book she was writing with her findings. Uneasy with the corkscrew twists and turns, Joseph Knox embedded himself in the case, ultimately discovering a truth more tragic and shocking than he could have possibly imagined...
Kritters Thoughts: A book that throughout felt like a piece of non-fiction as the twists and turns of this "case" unfolded and I tried to find out who would want this young woman with a bright future to be gone - there were many likely suspects! Zoe Nolan went missing one night from her apartment building in Manchester and there are many people who could be involved with her disappearance. An author Evelyn Mitchell is interested in investigating and writing a book and along with Joseph Knox they bring this story to life, but some of that is fiction and some non fiction!
I knew very little before going into this book and I hope to keep that way for you as I loved my reading experience going in blind and not knowing where this book will go. I read this book mostly via audiobook and I completely recommend reading this one that way as they had a great cast of characters that really made this book come alive. And also, reading in this form made it feel as though this book was a series of podcasts episodes and for me that was a big plus. I have a hard time with audiobooks and listening to it as if each chapter was a podcast worked so well for me!
Rating: definitely a good read, but can't read two in a row
