Meer over het boek

When sixteen-year-old Sara Parcell goes missing on a crisp April morning in Frederick, Maryland, her story becomes a national obsession and the focus of a controversial docu-series. Ten years later, those who knew her best are finally ready to share their perspectives. This genre-bending novel constructs an oral history around the familiar narrative of a missing teenage girl, yet it is far from a standard mystery. Through “interviews” with family, neighbors, law enforcement, and television executives, the author weaves a riveting tale that delves into one family's tragedy and Hollywood's relentless exploitation of it. By exposing the darker side of the true crime entertainment industry, the narrative transcends typical whodunit boundaries. It offers a thoughtful exploration of our fascination with mysteries, cold cases, and the violent stories we consume for comfort. Groundbreaking and fast-paced, this novel questions who is truly responsible for the tragedies we are drawn to, inviting readers to reflect on the societal implications of our obsession with crime and its portrayal in media.
