Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery by Robert Kolker

4.0

---

I enjoyed the first half of the book - which was the stories of each of the five "lost girls" - more than I enjoyed the second half - which was the story of the investigation. I found that the investigation piece felt very long and very repetitive. However, the individual stories of each woman were very powerful; society loves to treat sex workers as "less than" and this book provided a fascinating narrative of what drew each woman into sex work.
