Synopsis
It is a crime even the FBI must have considered fantastic and absurd. In 1935, nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, heir to one of the wealthiest families in America, is snatched off the streets two blocks from his home. The boy is kept manacled in a pit, chained to a tree, and locked in a closet. The perps—a career bank robber, a petty thief, and his nineteen-year-old never-been-in-trouble Mormon wife—quickly become the targets of the biggest manhunt in Northwest history. The caper plays out like a Hollywood thriller with countless twists and improbable developments. Perhaps the most astonishing thing of all, though, is how it all ends.
My Review
This book was brilliant, I enjoyed every minute of it. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was amazing and make it very easy to engage with this book. This is a non fiction book however, it was wrote that well that it flows like a fiction book making it so easy to listen to and enjoy. This is in fact my first true crime book and will definitely be reading more if they are all as good as this book. This book sounded as if it was very well researched and full to the brim with those small important details. The boy that was kidnapped in his later year gave the author an interview making this book all the more appealing. The ending really surprised me but it just shows the growth of people and there willingness to help others. I couldn't help but be in awe of the communities that came together to prove evidence of the kidnappers movements. This make the book so much more interesting and gripping leading to a brilliant sense of tension. So much praise goes to the author and publishing team for bringing us such a gripping, edge of your seat read that I and I'm sure others will engage in an thoroughly enjoy. Can't wait to read more now.
