Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I guess "I would have had to have been there" to appreciate this book. As it is, I never really identified with Amy Cave. Ms. Flagg makes many mentions of photography, cameras, dark rooms, pictures of convicted person, but does not share one photo with her readers. Photographs may have enhanced Amy's story for me.
Rating: 5
Summary: I remember this murder, and Ms Flagg's account is flawless
Comment: I have just finished "The Disappearance of Amy Cave" I could not put this book down. Ms Flagg's account of the murder which took place in the 1980's in the vicinity of Taunton Bay in Hancock, Maine was as I had remembered it. I know many of the people named in the book, and through Ms. Flagg's descriptive writing, could pinpoint the locations referred to throughout the book. This was such a bizarre incident. The victim was a gentle woman who was well liked by everyone who knew her. The media circus that ensued upon the arrest of the person ultimately convicted of murdering Ms Cave made that time and the trial seem like something out of a very bad movie.
Ms Flagg, even though she was acquainted with the victim, wrote in a professional detached manner in which she presented both her personal reactions and the factual accounting,which must have been very difficult. I found myself wincing at the account of Ms Cave's murder, and asking myself how I would feel if this had happened to a close friend of mine. Her writing flows beautifully, and the book is an extremely easy read. If this is her first book, I can't wait for her to write another! Loved it!

Summary: Way to go Pat Flagg!
Comment: Small town coastal Maine: a classic American location. The locals notice that a genteel retired woman, living alone, is becoming a recluse. And as Amy Cave fades out, another woman, younger, stranger, fades in. She's over-endowed and men can't keep their eyes off her. Where did she come from? What's she doing here? By the time Amy finally goes missing, Samantha -- Sam -- has become all too conspicuously present. It doesn't take law enforcement officials long to put two and two together. And that's just the first layer to be peeled off the onion.
It's a great story and a true story. And our narrator, a reporter for the local weekly, obviously has a great time telling it. I lapped it all up and wanted more. Encore! Encore!
