Intrigued by the mystery but thought pretty basic police procedure could've avoided the whole thing.

Ellie's tutor living on the street she disappeared from should've made her immediately suspect in her kidnapping.

I didn’t read the back when I started this and I should have because boy was that a heavy novel, definitely should not have been reading it at 14 but whatever. Very heavy, very true crime, honestly felt like a real case.
