Fascinating Take on The "Missing"

Sarah From Paper Plus Whakatane - May 2021

A very interesting collection of New Zealand True Crime. Steve starts the book with a discussion of the term "Missing Person" and its effect on all people surrounded by the term. For me, the survival story of Simonne Butler was a positive highlight amongst a heavy topic. Her take on life and attitude is beautiful. The details of Grace Millane and Mark Lundy were insightful, and there was a lot of information I had never heard about the cases. Steve also goes in to the sad and mysterious details of "Nige", an Eastern Bay local that everyone has seen signs dedicated to. An interesting and insightful look in to some of New Zealand's missing and murdered.
