Overview

This book is everything a reader could want. It will crack your whole heart open.”—Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises and Women We Buried, Women We Burned

Two decades after her father disappeared from his trucking company, a daughter searches for answers in this stunning, exquisitely written investigative memoir from a “talented writer” (David Simon).

One night when Kate Crane was twelve, her father called to say he was on his way home from his trucking business. He never showed up. Kate and her family were left stunned, with no explanation or resolution on the horizon. Twenty years later, now a journalist in New York City, Kate reopens the investigation with Baltimore’s Cold Case Unit, tracks down the retired detectives who’d worked Eddy’s case, and chases leads with old friends through her hometown’s dark alleys. Maybe she can find some answers—or at least a little solace.

Part memoir, part true crime, part psychological suspense, What Ever Happened to Eddy Crane? is a brilliantly written, emotionally resonant story of searing loss and resilience, of Baltimore, of family ghosts, and the bravery required to confront the past.

Review

One night when Kate Crane was twelve, her father called to say he was on his way home from his trucking business. He never showed up. Kate and her family were left stunned, with no explanation or resolution on the horizon. Twenty years later, Kate reopens the investigation with Baltimore’s Cold Case Unit.

Well! This is a unique true crime/memoir.

I enjoyed Kate’s honesty with her struggles over the death of her father. I understand her need to find out what happened. This has truly changed the trajectory of her life.

The battle that Kate went through with the police and the state government just infuriated me. This was just uncalled for and a bit insane, if you ask me. And don’t think for one minute that the wall surrounding this case could not happen to you and your family!

Even though she still does not have a definitive answer to what happened to her dad, Kate has done some great work and she did not take no for an answer.

Vivienne Leheny is the narrator. I know nonfiction is tough to narrate sometimes but she did a great job.
