True Crime Story is a novel that doesn't feel like a novel.
It feels like being a party to an investigation.
A failing writer becomes interested in a seven year old
cold case of missing co-ed Zoe, who happens to be a twin. The story unfolds via interviews with the victims
…more friends and relatives, and a series of emails between the failing writer and a successful crime writer who is helping her get the book together. The characters gradually unfold, and become quite well developed, albeit unsympathetic, for the most part. The end was a one/two punch! Certainly would recommend this mystery, twin study, and look into family dynamics. Very clever read. (less)
