Yesterday's News by R.G. Belsky
5.0
This is another digital ARC that I was lucky enough to read. Yesterday’s News is about a journalist who helps to uncover the truth about the kidnapping case of Lucy Devlin. This book was more than what I was expecting.
Clare Carlson’s biggest news story was the coverage of the kidnapping case of Lucy Devlin. The case unfortunately went cold. Fifteen years later, the mother of little Lucy says she has received information from an anonymous person about seeing Lucy years ago on the back of a motorcycle at a motorcycle convention. Clare decides to investigate this new information, and finds more than she bargained for. Six children’s bodies which had been found years previous are somehow related to Lucy’s disappearance. A man who is running for New York’s U.S. Senate position is also somehow connected.
I was shocked at some of the connections between the different pieces of information that Clare uncovered. While this story is sad due to the fact that most of the children who were murdered were victims of domestic abuse, this story was an enthralling read. I wish more of the characters were subjected to justice for the crimes they took part in. However, this shows the realistic-ness of humanity’s darker side.
