Summary

In the summer of 1967, 19-year-old Brenda Joyce Holland disappeared. She was a mountain girl who had come to Manteo to work in the outdoor drama The Lost Colony. Her body was found five days later, floating in the sound. This riveting narrative, built on unique access to the state investigative file and multiple interviews with insiders, searches for the truth of her unsolved murder. This island odyssey of discovery includes seances, a suicide, and a supposed shallow grave. Journalist John Railey cuts through the myths and mistakes to finally arrive at the long-hidden truth of what happened to Brenda Holland that summer on Roanoke Island.

Contains mature themes.

interest listen, well researched

I know the yard stick is In Cold Blood but for the quirky place this is set in, it's an interesting case. Some books get bogged down in details but this was OK. Worth a listen.

So terribly sad this actually happened

I did get a little confused with the different names & people. Was well written, very long. I agree with the writers theory. So sad evidence was not preserved. Am sad for Brenda & her family & friends. Alcohol has alot to answer to. Well narrated.
