More about the authors musings than the cases. Should have read it at the bookshop and saved $.

Purchased on Mighty Ape

This was a interesting collection of stories that Steve Braunias has reported on – mostly murder cases, so the title is a bit misleading. I thought it was well-written and easy to read, even though the cases and perpetrators themselves were distasteful.

Description

Twelve extraordinary tales of disappearance: a collection of true crime writing by New Zealand's award-winning master of non-fiction. Former journalist Murray Mason, found dead in the Auckland Domain; the mysterious death of Socksay Chansy, found dead in a graveyard by the sea; the tragic disappearance of backpacker Grace Millane, victim of public enemy #1; the enduring mystery of the Lundy family murders... These are stories about how some New Zealanders go missing - the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time.
