This audiobook was superb. One of the best true crime books I have read. I was furious and sad and emotional as I listened to this detailed account of what happened. I remember Polly being kidnapped but did not know so much that happened behind the scenes of what the media reported. I had no idea how much this case changed the way kidnappings and other crimes were handled since. Eye opening.

I enjoyed this because I knew very little about the Polly Klaas case and I genuinely wanted to know if they found the guilty man. I did a combination of audio and ebook and the audio was preferred because it was it was told like an interview.

This was very insightful and wasn’t boring like a textbook. I found it a tad too long but would recommend it to true crime fans.
