EadieB This was a very good book and one that leaves me thinking about her and her unfortunate murder. I look forward to reading another book by this author as he did a great job writing about this mystery long after it happened. 2y

The Lost Colony Murder is a true story about an intriguing and still unsolved murder that took place in the summer of 1967 in the Outer Banks town of Manteo on the seashores of North Carolina.

The story totally captured my attention as I read the entire book in one day! Author, John Railey, scores a 10 out of 10 for his in-depth research, presentation of information, and totally engaging storytelling. And, the last chapter is the best! 😉
