Welcome to Litsy!

A fictional story based on true events of the Des Moines paper boys that went missing in the early to mid-80‘s. Told from three perspectives of a young boy Sammy, his 18 year old sister and the main detective investigating the case, the reader pieces together a horrible story of kidnapping and pedophillia. Tough subject matter but good story and I enjoyed all the references to the 80‘s that reminded me of my childhood.

Good mystery/thriller, but tough subject (kidnapped kids, pedophilia).

Should have bailed on this one. Stilted, torn from the headlines based on real story of missing paperboys and child abuse in the 80s. #Bookspin #Scarathalon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

Nietzche said, "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...."
The Monsters We Make is a quick read but given the subject matter, it will linger with you long after you turn the last page."

This was a story (inspired by true events) about child abduction, pedophilia, and general stranger danger in the 1980s.

Based on true events, this novel follows the investigation of two boys who go missing while delivering newspapers. Taking 3 perspectives, this novel follows Sammy, his sister Crystal, and Detective Dale as they search for the monster in the neighborhood. A realistic portrayal of how predators lure children into their webs. This book was hard to read particularly because of themes of child abuse. Well-written but hard to describe as a "good read".
