This was an interesting book. I liked the narrator. This book was well researched. It was hard to follow at times with the different stories.

5.0

I love true crime but have a short attention span for nonfiction, and will never finish a whole book on, say, Lizzie Borden. I finished this book in two sittings. Billman weaves disparate stories within a framework of the search for Jacob Gray, along the way delving into dog trailing, psychics, backcountry hiking, cults, extreme condition searches, Bigfoot, and the legal and political issues around missing persons. Highly recommend.
