An unsolved murder is never closed, and these cases are regularly reviewed to identify any new lines of inquiry that could be explored.’

This book contains 60 cases of crimes that happened but remain unsolved.

It is hard to imagine what the family’s of these victims must be going through not knowing what happened to their loved ones 10,20, even 50 years ago.

This is the ideal read for any true crime reader and one who is ok reading some quite disturbing details.

Many of these cases were distressing to read especially when it involved cases of children.

At the end of a number of chapters, some cases have further reading provided to give more detail and information on the cases which I personally liked as I would like to learn more.

‘Christmas should be a happy time of the year, especially for children, so for two to vanish without a trace in a cold Boxing Day night makes for a particularly harrowing mystery.’

Phil Drake has written a well researched book and I look forward to reading more of his work.
