This was an awesome book to read. I live in Maine so it is near and dear to my heart. Things like this don't happen around here. I have passed to book off to my Mom because she has been waiting patiently for it. The book was very well written and it kept you on the edge of your seat most of the time. The chapters were very short which makes it easy to read a quick chapter if you only have a few minutes. I would recommend this book.

Well written and very interesting. Of course, I wouldn't want to be one of the people interviewed by this reporter! She tells everything these people said. It was a sad story.
