The Girls Are Gone by Michael Brodkorb & Allison Mann

Summary

On the evening of April 19, 2013, Samantha and Gianna Rucki disappeared. Two of five children born to David Rucki and Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, the teenage sisters vanished in the midst of their parents divorce.

The girls father, David Rucki, worked tirelessly with law enforcement to search day and night for his two missing daughters, following every lead while raising three remaining children at home. Their mother, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, used her newfound freedom to vacation around the world, abandoning her children. And as the investigation intensified, catching the attention of the media, Sandra also disappeared.

The Girls Are Gone is the true story of two sisters who went missing, the father who kept searching, and the adults who conspired to keep the truth hidden.

My Thoughts

Oh how I love crime shows, books, documentaries, and everything like that!  I was so incredibly excited to receive this book to review!  It's seriously one of my favorite genres.

First of all, I am shocked that I knew nothing about this case!  I realize that it all occurred in Minnesota and I don't live there, but still!  I had never heard anything about this.

Now, while I do wish that this book read a bit more like a story rather than facts and court documents, I still really enjoyed this book.  I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that all of this really went down.  It's crazy!

If you are at all interested in true crime/missing people cases, you will probably really enjoy reading this.  It's not a short book by any means (over 300 pages) but it goes by pretty fasr because you just get so drawn in!
