Lost Girls, by Robert Kolker (2013)
I am not sure what possessed me to pick up this book. True crime stories are the sort of book I typically read. This book follows the lives of 5 young women who were leading lives in the internet world of sex and drugs. They found they could make a lot of money working on their own by advertising as escorts on such sites as Craigslist and Backpage. The disappearance of Shannon Gilbert on Long Island leads the police on a search. Instead, they find the bodies of four other women, all of whom were wrapped in burlap and buried in the marsh. These women had been missing for several years, but no serious search had been performed, in part, perhaps to the fact that they were known sex-workers.
The book kept my interest, but mostly because I was on an airplane and it was the reading material available. The book was not really well written, although it was in interesting look into this aspect of life.
