theboldbookworm's review against another edition
4.0
3.5 rounded up
I liked this book, but I had a problem with how everything was mixed up instead of told linearly. Sometimes that works, but in this case, it was confusing. I live in ND and I remember this case clearly. It was so sad. This book not only talks about Savanna's case, it also brings awareness to other cases and what has been done or not been done to solve them.

toric90's review against another edition
I was really struggling after about maybe 30% or 40% of this book. I pushed forward to about 71% but then decided to look up reviews to see if it was just me or if it maybe got better. SO MANY reviews agreed with me. So I'm DNFing. The topic is important but the author did not do any of this topic justice. Just like the other reviews mentioned - it's repetitive, confusing structure, and disjointed. Lots of back and forth information of the trial that really wasn't important. I'm listening to the epilogue now which honestly gave me more and better information than the entire book. The author DID NOT do justice for Savanna's story. DEFINITELY feels like a white woman who found out she has Native DNA and then went on a hunt and found this horrible story. But NO CONNECTION at all or understanding of her duty to this information. Poorly written. How upsetting.
