Synopsis

An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States. Only one in 10,000 are found dead. Yet unsolved child murders are almost a daily occurrence—of nearly 52,000 juvenile homicides between 1980 and 2008, more than 20 percent remain open. Drawing on FBI reports, police and court records, and interviews with victims’ families, this book provides details and evidence for eighteen unsolved cases from 1956 to 1998.

Emily Thompson is that rare true crime writer who educates, informs and tells a riveting story. I read a lot of true crime from the trashy to literary. I've been reading the genre for thirty years at least. I believe my first was Helter Skelter when I was a teenager. So I'd like to think I know a goo......more

Goodreads review by Kay ☾ on June 17, 2021

This didn’t take me long to read because I like anything and everything true crime. I would love a part two about the solved cases (not that many were solved maybe 2-3 since the book came out).

In her first book, Thompson tackles a very dark and difficult subject; child homicide. It is a mixture of darkness and of hope, as well as the unfortunate reality.

4.5 stars This book is heartbreaking. I cried, I got angry and I felt sad. How someone can decide our destiny and take away our lives. It is so unfair. I hope someday they can find justice... Even if the killers are no longer here, I just want to give peace to these children and their families. This b......more
