The Monsters We Make
by Kali White
The Monsters We Make grabbed my attention with the very first sentence.
Thank you to Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
The book opens outlining the abductions of two paperboys, two years apart. Taking on investigation roles are high school senior Crystal Cox and, indirectly, her younger brother Sammy. Detective Dale Goodkind is haunted by investigations of previous disappearances, as well as the secrets all the characters carry.
The story takes place in the mid 80s; an interesting choice for decade setting. As a kid of the era, the timeframe felt authentic to me - no cell phones, computers or social media as investigation tools. References made to the time reflected the differences in conduct and views compared to now.
I truly enjoyed this novel by Kali White, gripping writing style and pacing. My only slight issue is vague wrap-up of some story elements, but not enough to detract from the overall read. Recommended!
The Monsters We Make is for release on June 9, 2020.
