fasmina 's review for:
The Vanishing Triangle
by Claire McGowan
Not being a big fan of true crime thrillers, I picked it up only because I was intrigued by the history behind it. The Vanishing Triangles is an area in Ireland where women disappeared without trace in the 1990s. The added advantage of the author being born in this village shed more light and an interesting insight to this book.
Author draws attention to several political and social aspects of the time, especially since The Troubles was still ongoing. At a time when women were not treated right, when abortion was still illegal and victim-blaming was done, these abductions were more or less ignored and not given the proper attention. The author draws her own experience into the book and digs into give an insight on these unsolved mysteries.
The book is packed with so much information and it felt like reading an actual report on the crime itself. Unless for some parts where the narration was a bit repetitive, this book is truly a great one for true crime fanatics.
