Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of this true crime book by Chuck Hogan. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Marissa takes a journalism class and instantly becomes obsessed with a picture of a crime scene from a decade ago. A couple in their 60s vanished overnight, their bodies later found at the bottom of a steep ravine. The case then turned cold. Marissa can't stop thinking about it though, and when she finds a group of moms who also have a shared interest in true crime, they begin to seriously investigate.
The title of this book is a bit misleading, because the women didn't meet at carpool, although they are all moms. This book will remind you of the single-minded obsession of Michelle McNamara, who investigated the Golden State Killer. These four women had no connection to the victims or suspects in this crime, nor any law enforcement background, but they were dogged in their pursuit of getting answers and justice for the family. This investigation took place during Covid, making it even more remarkable. This book reads like a thriller novel and I couldn't put it down. Bravo to these women!
