Status Updates From Out of Thin Air

I take it back. Once the book gets into the details of how these men and woman could be made to confess, it gets really good. The confusing narrative in the beginning clicks into place with the explanation. It’s like the first half is a jumble of puzzle pieces. The second half starts placing them. Really well done.

I like this book. I’m listening to it, and the narrator is pleasant. The story is intriguing. However, I can’t help but feel they’ve gone a little too far in burying the lead. The author chases a lot of rabbits for a long time before circling back to the main gist of the story. The mystery is getting a little exhausting instead of being as suspenseful as I think the author would prefer.

I wanted to watch the documentary on this story, but I found that it was not available in my country. Instead, I discovered this book. I’m so glad I went for the book instead. So far, the mystery is very intriguing.

It stars by describing the two missing men, then pivots into following the suspect’s girlfriend. She is a criminal herself, but out of the loop on whatever is happening with the disappearance.
