Review: In Plain Sight (the Elizabeth Smart story)

In Plain Sight: The Startling Truth Behind the Elizabeth Smart InvestigationIn Plain Sight: The Startling Truth Behind the Elizabeth Smart Investigation by Tom Smart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The other side of the story
After listening to Elizabeth Smart's own story of her abduction, captivity and rescue (My Story, by Elizabeth Smart), I was curious about the investigation into her disappearance. In Plain Sight was written by Elizabeth's uncle, the sometimes family spokesperson who played an active role in the efforts to find his niece. Aside of a little TMI on his own issues, it is quite an interesting story. The efforts to find Elizabeth were remarkable and, it seems, were instrumental in her discovery and rescue. If not for this, she could well have continued to remain hidden in plain sight, if she had survived. Thankfully that is not the case. I might prefer a telling of what happened from someone less involved, but this was a good listen nonetheless. It should definitely be read by anyone else seeking a missing loved one.
