Welcome to Litsy!

This was compelling, heart wrenching, fascinating & downright appalling. I highly recommend this to any true crime fans. It focuses mostly on the impact of the murder of Chris Farmer and Peta Frampton on their families (including the author) and the HUGE role they played moving the case forward, how bafflingly mishandled this was by authorities. The grisly details are discussed, but I wouldn‘t consider it gory.
Narration is 👍 on the audiobook.

author‘s brother & gf were killed while traveling in 1978. This is heart wrenching. Ever think “how did people do things before the Internet?” & the answer here is… they didn‘t. The complexity of the victims being from England, suspect from US, murder in Guatemala.. correspondences out of date, evidence lost. And even once we get past Y2K there is still a huge disconnect… *I* am exasperated, let alone the family.

Penny Farmer‘s brother and his girlfriend were found brutally murdered in the seas off Belize in 1978. For almost 40 years, her family never gave up hope that they would finally piece together what happened. This is a shocking true crime read that reminded me a bit of Bugliosi‘s And the Sea Will Tell because of the remote location and sailing. A solid #truecrime read. #netgalley

Read this one right before my catamaran trip. Definitely made me paranoid. 😳 This story is true and heartbreaking. The most disturbing part is that his young sons were witness to all the horror. I don‘t see how they grew up to be “normal”. For true crime fans.
