Mrs. Grace Humiston was an amazing lawyer and a traveling detective during a time when no women were practicing those professions. She focused on solving cases no one else wanted and advocating for innocents. The first female US District Attorney, she made groundbreaking investigations into modern-day slavery, and the papers gave her the nickname of fiction's famous sleuth. One of her greatest accomplishments was solving the cold case of a missing 18-year-old girl, Ruth Cruger. Her work changed how the country viewed the problem of missing girls, but it came with a price: she learned all too well what happens when one woman upstages the entire NYPD.

In the literary tradition of In Cold Blood and The Devil in the White City, this true-crime tale is told in spine-tingling fashion and has important repercussions concerning kidnapping, the role of the media, and the truth of crime stories. But the great mystery of this book - and its haunting twist ending - is how one woman became so famous only to disappear.

At first I thought it would be along the lines of Sherlock Holmes but quickly realized I was listening to biography of an extraordinary woman who worked her whole life to save missing girls and about the white slavers who still exist today. I’m glad I bought the book.

Grace - extraordinary woman

I found this book long and drawn out. I needed to finish the book just in case something interesting happened. Sadly it didn't happen for me.

Interesting history

I was hooked on this story from the beginning. The author must have done a lot of research to have captured the spirit of the age so well. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, and biographies. In addition to the story of the mystery of a missing girl, there is also a portrait of an extraordinary woman. In fact, I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the development of feminism in the US in the early 20th century.

A very well done piece of history

A very interesting story about an extraordinary woman. Unfortunately, the book is poorly written. The narration is mediocre at best.

Quite a woman

Narration is a bit stilted.

This woman was remarkably steadfast, courageous, resourceful, and righteousness. This story can be made into a good movie.
