Summary
Eleven women went missing over the spring and summer of 1988 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, an old fishing port known as the Whaling City, where Moby Dick, Frederick Douglass, textile mills, and heroin-dealing represent just a few of the many threads in the community's diverse fabric. In Shallow Graves, investigative reporter Maureen Boyle tells the story of a case that has haunted New England for 30 years.
Boyle first broke the story in 1988 and stayed with it for decades. In Shallow Graves she spins a riveting narrative about the crimes, the victims, the hunt for the killers, and the search for justice, all played out against the backdrop of an increasingly impoverished community beset by drugs and crime.
Drawing on more than 100 interviews, along with police reports, first-person accounts, and field reporting both during the killings and more recently, Shallow Graves brings the listener behind the scenes of the investigation, onto the streets of the city, and into the homes of the families still hoping for answers.
Contains mature themes.

Great book, not so great narrator
This is a really interesting book, well written and keeps your interest throughout.
However, the narrator makes a few mistakes that have made me wince when I hear them. I think the worst of these is that they pronounce 'José Gonsalves' as 'Joe-see Gone-salves'. What makes it even worse is that there is a woman in the book called Josie and she pronounces it correctly! If you can get past this, I recommend the book.

Interesting but confusing
Got a bit confused as it seemed to jump about a bit. Really needs to update with correct gender pronouns from transitioned female.

so so
this was quite difficult to get through, despite the interesting subject matter. I found it quite poorly written and structured. any suspense is removed in the first minute by an unnecessary timeline, and it soon becomes fairly tedious.
