Bk19 of 2021 is done! A true crime about the disappearance of 18yr old Trudie Adams from the Northern Beaches of Sydney in 1978,it was hugely upsetting but very well written & researched.The fact that neither her body or her killer has ever been found is a massive indictment of the police,especially considering the numerous other rapes & abductions in the surrounding years. #Booked2021 #ContainsPhotos #NonFiction2021 #AboutThePast #BookspinBingo👇

Lizpixie @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen @TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage I highly recommend it. There‘s also the podcast by the authors called Unravel & the 3 part documentary which is on abc iview(though it‘s an Australian site it may work with a VPN like Surfshark or similar) 4y

Heading into the home stretch of the #24in48 #readathon & I just may squeeze in the 24hrs! Woohoo🙌 So far this book is both interesting, sad, infuriating & surprising. I knew sexual assault on women was seriously underreported & under investigated in the 70s, but the way these women & girls(some were barely teens)were dismissed & blamed by the police is just shocking. And crimes against women still has one of the lowest convictions rates.😡

It‘s 3am here & I‘m not quite ready for bed yet, so for a change of pace in the #24in48 #readathon I‘m starting this true crime NF about the disappearance of Trudie Adams from the Northern Beaches of Sydney in 1978. Her body has never been found & police have never charged anybody with the crime. I vaguely remember the case, I was 7yrs old at the time so the news wasn‘t a priority. I‘ve heard the podcast is excellent👍
