Netgalley and Sourcebooks provided me with a copy of College Girl, Missing for review:

The disappearance of Lauren Spierer drew global attention from celebrities and news outlets including CNN, People magazine, and USA Today. Lauren’s disappearance wasn’t just a random kidnapping. The case is especially puzzling since the 20-year-old was out with dozens of classmates on the night she went missing. Security cameras and witnesses saw her in public, and she ended up in a townhouse complex with several wealthy, well-connected male students. Despite the media frenzy surrounding the case, the police investigation went nowhere and her body was never found. In spite of the media frenzy surrounding the case, the police investigation didn’t lead anywhere and her body was never found.

Using the support of Lauren’s parents as well as never-before-seen evidence detailing a cover-up, a botched investigation, conflicting testimony, and new interviews, Cohen leads readers through a gripping narrative until he finally sheds light on the innocents left behind in true crime. College Girl, Missing provides a minute-by-minute account of Lauren’s last hours. Readers are urged to ask themselves: What happened to Lauren Spieler?

Find out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
