Black Flamed Candle Books 🕯️📚’s Reviews > Dear Laura > Status Update

I wonder if each letters coordinates, is a different piece of bobby buried there.

So sad she doesn’t know how to trust without anything being an exchange / blackmail.

Oh man, this is rough. Us, as the reader, knowing more than Laura— that she’s being toyed with by a pedo man, that’s inserting himself into his own investigation, playing psychological mind games with a child and getting off to it.

Poor thing, navigating embarrassment, disgust and shame of trading her used underwear for a clue. Not understanding in the next letter were, I suspect coordinates, and a confession of ‘love’ by the creepy pedo.

As a reader, knowing why the pedo kidnapper (and most likely murderer) is toying with his second victim, stringing her along in hopes of getting her best friend and boyfriend back; knowing his intentions and her being an innocent, desperate teenager, 14, oblivious and unaware to the fact of why he wants her used underwear in exchange for a ‘clue’, under the guise of the boy being alive. Sickening. Heartbreaking.
