Review: Unsolved Australia: Lost Boys, Gone Girls.
I don't read a lot of non-fiction however I find reading about true crime can be quite intriguing and Unsolved Australia: Lost Boys, Gone Girls is filled with intrigue and mystery.
Lost Boys, Gone Girls is written by journalist and true crime writer Justine Ford.
Ford has picked thirteen cold cases where people have gone missing or found murdered and the cases are still unsolved, many from decades ago. She explains how cases are never closed, however they are reviewed over time with fresh eyes and using the latest technology hoping to find that extra clue that solves the case.
There are not only facts on the investigations into the disappearances and murders but also interviews with the people involved in trying to solve these cases; detectives, investigative journalists, private investigators, criminologists and a criminal psychologist.
Lost Boys, Gone Girls is written with compassion and understanding for the victims and their families.
To make the stories more entertaining we are not purely given known facts but the author has also added some assumptions and speculation on people's thoughts.
Justine Ford hopes that getting all the available information out to the public will spark a memory in someone's mind that may ultimately lead to solving a case.
My rating 4 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
