The Monsters We Make by Kali White
4.0
I’ve always been drawn to mysteries and true crime stories. This story loosely based on the story of Johnny Gosch, a Des Moines paper boy did not disappoint.
The characters were well thought out and developed. I found myself rooting for Chrissie and Dale as they worked to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of Christopher and Matt. While Chrissie was driven by her future goals and the need to protect her younger brother, Dale’s search was rooted in the pain from his past and led him astray. Maybe because he was so convinced, I was eyeing a different suspect.
Child abduction and pedophelia are difficult subjects to write and read about. This is a well written story that shows that there are monsters among us and as a community we need to be watchful and aware of their presence to protect our children.
