Been a while since I shared this. The book's out soon--March 11--so banking a bunch of preorders would be a tremendous help.

Still processing this wonderful praise from one of my favorite authors. Thank you @lauralippman.bsky.social 🙏🏻
Good morning, Bluesky.
Waited far too long to read (listen to) @robertkolker.com’s Hidden Valley Road. Yes, the subject matter — a family of 12 with 6 schizophrenic sons — is daunting, but it’s fascinating and, of course, beautifully, empathetically written.

Lost Girls has a new edition, on sale May 14, featuring a new 25-page epilogue on the astounding arrest of a Gilgo Beach murder suspect who’d been hiding in plain sight for more than a decade (and all the reasons that arrest didn’t happen years earlier). a.co/d/eUW0dQZ 1/2

New from me in @NYTmag: a complete year by year breakdown of the failures of the Gilgo Beach murder investigation. Everything they needed, they had almost on Day 1. What took so long to find a suspect who was in plain sight, exactly where they always thought he’d be? www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/m...
