About this listen

This true story begins on a sunny morning in 2003, just before the Fourth of July, outside of Flint Michigan, when an 80-year-old grandmother has mysteriously disappeared from the face of the Earth. She was my mother.

Three days after she disappeared, the charred remains of her new car were identified, after being completely destroyed by an intentional fire; but she was nowhere to be found.

For the next three months, my family and I searched for her, and this book chronicles that search, and eventually her memorial service, funeral, and the trial of the person who stood accused of killing her. It is an odd and twisting tale about robbery, kidnapping, a lesbian love triangle, attempted murder, and actual murder.

Felt it took a while to get into (nearly gave up as narrator is a bit boring, I found) but glad I didn't.

Loved this book, sad at times but that's the harsh reality of senseless murders. It's very well written and takes you through the families painful journey from beginning to end. Kevin Pierce is an amazing narrator, I think I have every true crime book he has narrated. He done the Murphy family proud. I highly recommend this book, difficult to put down once you start.

Brilliant book of a families quest for justice
