Our selection for the July 18, 2022 meeting is "Amy: My Search For Her Killer."
“Poignant and wonderfully well-written.” — Richard North Patterson, New York Times bestselling author of Silent Witness“I fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic not long before her body was discovered lying facedown in an Ashland County wheat field. I fell for her the first time I saw that school photo TV stations flashed at the beginning of every newscast in the weeks following her kidnapping in the autumn of 1989—the photo with the side-saddle ponytail . . .”So begins this strange and compelling memoir in which a young journalist investigates the cold case that has haunted him since childhood. It’s one of Northeast Ohio’s most frustrating unsolved crimes. Ten-year-old Amy Mihaljevic (Muh-ha-luh-vick) disappeared from the comfortable Cleveland suburb of Bay Village.
