Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest true crime book by Casey Sherman. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
When Nathan Carman is miraculously rescued from a lifeboat bobbing in the unforgiving North Atlantic, questions swirl about the fate of his mother, who is presumed to have drowned when their fishing boat sank. Nathan is in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and his account of what exactly happened out there on the waves raises questions from family members and law enforcement. Then there's the mysterious murder of Nathan's multimillionaire grandfather who was murdered a few years before. With all that money on the line, did Nathan commit the ultimate betrayal?
Money, power, family - how many times have we seen that combination end in tragedy? I'm a fan of Casey Sherman's books because he always does such a thorough job of researching and compiles all that research into a gripping story. Although this one was on 20/20, I never saw that episode and this crime didn't ring a bell to me, so it was fascinating to delve into. The fact that Nathan was on the autism spectrum added another layer of complexity into these crimes. If you like true crime, this one is for you!
