About the book

A missing girl on a journey of revenge and a Serial—like podcast following the clues she's left behind.

Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.

But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.

When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.

    Ein so krasses Buch!!!

    Wow! Was soll ich sagen! Hier geht es um Sadie, deren kleine Schwester ermordet wird. Nun setzt sie sich es als Ziel den Mörder umzubringen. Das Buch ist aus Sadies Sicht, und einem Podcast, der Sadie finden will geschrieben. Die rücksichtslose Wahrheit kommt Stück für Stück ans Licht. Das Buch lässt sich sehr gut Lesen, und hat Suchtpotential. Klare Empfehlung!!!

    Ein so krasses Buch!!!

    Familientragödie trifft Rachedurst

    Als ich den Klapptext von Sadie gelesen habe, wusste ich das es dramatisch und emotional werden kann.. Triggerwarnungen wären angebracht gewesen - nur so am Rande.. Es tat weh zu lesen, wie sehr Sadie ihre kleine Schwester Mattie vergöttert und was aus einer Tragödie losgetreten wird in Sadie. Die Mutter der Mädchen war eine Vollkatastrophe und mehr Last als Stütze. Was mir nicht gefallen hat, waren die Podcast Sequenzen da mir das alles zu durcheinander war. Ich hätte es generell schöner gefunden, wenn sowohl die Podcast Kapitel wie auch die Sadie Kapitel mit Datumsangaben wären, so dass man die Geschichte besser verfolgen kann. Alles in allem war es ein (Familien-)Drama und ich hätte es mir krasser, dramatischer vorgestellt. Und was mir absolut nicht gefallen hat, war das Ende…

    "And it begins, as so many stories do, with a dead girl." This book hit me hard and made my cry. TW: Pedophilia, sexual abuse, drug abuse. If you can handle the heavy topics I really recommend this book. I stayed up until 5am to finish it, then went and immediately checked another book by this author out in my library that's how much this book hooked me. I felt so deeply for Sadie as she goes in search of the man who murdered her sister Mattie, who was her whole world. Sadie was like a mother to Mattie when their own mother disappeared. Their relationship is so complicated, yet so very special. Sadie goes on a trip to hunt down clues, fighting against her severe stutter along the way, all to find the murderer. And West McCray’s investigation leads him along her trail. A before and after racing each other towards the bitter end. The narrative split between West McCray as a radio presenter investigating Sadie’s disappearance and Sadie herself. The juxtaposition of McCray’s detached radio voice with the passion and determination in Sadie’s account works really well. "Please save her " was constantly running through my mind. I felt panicked while reading, especially as Sadie became more and more reckless. It’s so heartbreaking to see this girl who believes she has lost everything important in her world. The audiobook is amazing, partially told in the style of a podcast with a large cast of voice actors! They even added ambient noises during interviews. Every audiobook should aspire to that level of perfection.
