About this audiobook
Chelsea King was a popular high school senior, an outstanding achiever determined to make a difference. Fourteen-year-old Amber Dubois loved books and poured her heart into the animals she cared for. Treasured by their families and friends, both girls disappeared in San Diego County, just eight miles and one year apart. The community's desperate search led authorities to John Albert Gardner, a brutal predator hiding in plain sight. Now Pulitzer-nominated author Caitlin Rother delivers an incisive, heartbreaking true-life thriller that touches our deepest fears.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an excellent book, one sees the horrific crimes from both sides the victims and the perpetrators. Well worth reading/listening to.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author spends way too much time on the perpetrator's life and mental health issues, half of the book or a bit more. The same thing isn't done for either of the victims, maybe the families choose not to speak and there wasn't much more information about them, but the way the book is written, you almost want to give the perpetrator a pass for the failings of the system and there's not much to connect with the victims and humanize them as more than names. Of course any human with basic empathy will feel sorry for the girls and understand - to a point - the struggles of the accused, but I felt like the book was about him and not about the two lost girls.
