Missing Clarissa is a YA for all the Crime Junkies who want to start their own true crime podcast about a case in their town. It comes out March 7, 2023!
Missing Clarissa follows high school students and friends who decide to do a true crime podcast for their journalism class. Their town's most famous case about Clarissa who went missing at a party in high school over 20 years ago. This book was on the shorter side, at 256 pages, and I think that worked against it. I didn't feel like there was enough time to properly tell the story. The ending had a lot of action and I liked how it all came together but the beginning seemed a little haphazard. Being a Crime Junkie myself, I was internally screaming at these high school girls not to do dumb things trying to solve a crime. It's a quicker read for those who think they can solve their town's most famous disappearance!
