Sixteen-year-old Sara Parcell disappeared without a trace on a crisp April morning in Frederick, Maryland. Her tragic story was a national obsession and the centerpiece of a controversial TV docu-series that followed her disappearance in real time. But is it possible that everyone missed the biggest secret of all? Ten years after the events in question, the people who knew Sara best are finally ready to talk. In this genre-bending novel, Daniel Sweren-Becker fashions an oral history around the seemingly familiar crime of a teenage girl gone missing. Yet Kill Show, filled with diabolical twists and provocative social commentary, is no standard mystery; through "interviews" with family members, neighbors, law enforcement, TV executives, and a host of other compelling characters, Sweren-Becker constructs a riveting tale about one family's tragedy... and Hollywood's insatiable desire to exploit that tragedy. By revealing the seedy underbelly of the True Crime entertainment machine, Kill Show probes literary territory beyond the bounds of the standard whodunit--it's a thoughtful exploration into America's obsession with the mysteries, cold cases, and violent tales we turn to for comfort. Groundbreaking, fast-moving and informed, this is a novel about who's really responsible for the tragedies we love to consume"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Mystery Sweren-Becker Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Sweren-Becker in Processing Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Sweren-Becker Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Floating Collection Sweren-Becker Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2
