In The Lost Girls, John Glatt tells the truly amazing story of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight - who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly raped and beaten in a Cleveland house for over a decade by Ariel Castro - and their amazing escape in May 2013, which made headlines all over the world.

This audiobook has an exclusive interview with Castro's secret girlfriend, who spent many romantic nights in his house of horror without realizing that he had bound and chained captives just a few feet away. There are also revealing interviews with several Castro family members, musician friends, and neighbors who witnessed the dramatic rescue.

So many complain-y reviews about a British narrator for an "American" story... The author is from the UK, you know. I lived in Atlanta during the kidnappings, then England for years and later Cleveland itself while they were being held, and had landed in Idaho by the time they were found... Geography/nationality isn't a hindrance to the reporting, researching, writing, or storytelling, I can promise you that. The problem isn't that the narrator is English, it's that he's bad. It's stilted and amateurish, not too great with interpreting sentence structure, pacing, and where natural pauses should or shouldn't fall. The only things he badly mispronounces are Latinx names which again aren't due to a specifically English reader, just a white one that didn't care. The book is solid and the narration is only middlingly sub-par. On the whole it's thoroughly get-through-able. Honestly I think it would be more jarring to purely American ears to hear the handful of British phrases ("rang off," etc) from an equally meh but American narrator. The authorial voice is British, and this narrator is consistent with that; they just should have chosen a better one.

Accent isn't the issue...

This was an emotional story to hear. It is amazing what those girls went through and survived. And how much they had to overcome. He was a truly evil man. Amazing book, thank you to the girls for telling your courageous story.

Emotional
