Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC of this book!
It may be strange to say, but I do read, listen, and watch true crime. So when I saw this book, I knew I wanted to read it. It’s a story that I didn’t know about. Lauren Spierer was a college student a Indiana University. She went out one night and then disappeared, never to be found. This incident gained national attention, but certain people weren’t talking, and the police investigation was less than stellar. Who was Lauren, what happened to her? Cohen provides us this information, along with new information in this book.
I thought this book was well done. It was tasteful, but it didn’t hold back the facts that are known. Which means, that Cohen presented Lauren as she was when she was in college, and didn’t try to put her in a nicer light. This was probably hard for the family, but as a reader, I appreciated it.
I appreciate how much time and effort Cohen put into conducting his own investigation. His efforts resulted in garnering new information surrounding the circumstances of the night that Lauren disappeared. Like I said, I didn’t previously know about this case, but from what I’ve read in this book, I do have some suspicions about what happened. But, unfortunately, I don’t think we will ever know.
