I am reviewing a copy of Elizabeth is Missing through Open Road Integragated Media and Netgalley:

New Years Day 1753 Elizabeth Canning dissapeared and she did not reappear from the darkness until January.29th.  She was eighteen years old and had not had much excitement, but after her dissapearance and reimmergence she would have a story that set London on its ears.

On January 29.1753 Mrs Canning heard the latch on the door, and worried at first it would be a burglar but quickly discovered it was there Betty.   She was swollen and looked beaten but she was a live.  She had been robbed on New Years night, and held against her will for four weeks in a house on Bedlam.  She had been about ten or eleven miles from London.

This book asks us if Elizabeth told the truth, did she mix the truth with lies?  

I give Elizabeth is Missing five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
