The Kidnap Years: The Astonishing True History of the Forgotten Kidnapping Epidemic That Shook Depression-Era America by David Stout
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for an advance copy of the book!
On one hand, there was a lot of history in this book that I wasn’t aware of and found deeply interesting. On the other, the biggest issue I had was that a few of the stories got chopped up across the whole book instead of being resolved within the same section(s) of the book, so I sometimes had a hard time following what the story was. Overall I found the book interesting and informative, though the style wasn’t always one I enjoyed.
