In the wind flags Detective Kay Schucker the only female detective on the Chesapeake VA police force refused to allow her male colleagues to disregard all the evidence that went against their theory that Ms Starr was a promiscuous young woman who probably ran off with some guy Even when Detective Schucker felt she had excellent proof of where Janice Starr s body was dumped she was told there was no time to give to the case and she would have to pursue her theory on her own time. Book in think After the body was found by Kay Schucker and the case closed the widow of the murderer wanted the money from Ms Starr s life insurance policies paid to her since her husband was listed as the beneficiary Talk about outrageous I will now have to look for true crime books by Ron Peterson Jr He knows how to pick a crime and he knows how to tell the story of the crime in a most readable way with no repetition no tedious details and no going off in all sorts of unrelated directions Note I received a free e ARC of this book from NetGalley and the author or publisher English this true crime book following the disappearance and murder of Janice Starr was such a mind gripping read i have always had a love for true crime and this story did not disappoint as always it was such a heartbreaking account of what goes into finding out what happens to victims of crimes the author did such an amazing job at describing in detail of the accounts leading up to the discovery of Janice Starr 30 years later and my heart still goes out to the family and friends of this sweet girl i highly recommend reading this book English Janice Starr a young college co ed goes missing in 1981 without a trace Or actually there were tons of traces The all male cops on the case simply didn t want to pay attention to them Kay Schucker the lone woman on the force takes up Janice s case and brings her story to light ultimately proving that she is a badass and the men around her were trash Peterson s writing was very comprehensive and flowed in an exhilarating narrative Kay and Janice s story is that of feminine strength resilience and the gender inequalities and power struggles that shaped their fates While much of the inequality is of the time sadly women still frequently face such unfairness in judgement I received my copy from Netgalley English This is a true crime book about the 1981 disappearance of Janice Starr a student at Old Dominion University in Norfolk Virginia I am very familiar with this area and ODU so I was interested in reading this Janice Starr was an army veteran who was pursuing her degree and ROTC program at ODU She was 23 years old when she went missing. Book in the wind Kay Schucker was a new detective on the Chesapeake Police force She was also the first female detective on the force Kay is first concerned that this is a homicide when she visits Janice s apartment after receiving a call from a concerned friend Janice has not been seen in over a week When Kay enters the apartment it is very clean but there is a dried ring of a brownish substance in the tub The forensic investigator agrees with Kay that there is something suspicious. In the wind flags Kay has difficulty convincing her male superiors and fellow detectives that this needs to be investigated even after discovering Janice s very descriptive diaries She continues to investigate this case and also continues to go against the male hierarchy. In the wind lyrics lord huron I found the story of Kay fascinating and inspiring She pursues the case while possibly jeopardizing her career Even when she gets hard evidence it is not until some peer pressure happens that she is able to proceed. Kindle in the wind lyrics I also understood how Kay connected to this case As she looked into Janice Starr she found a kindred spirit Janice was also going against the male hierarchy in the army Both women put up with name calling sexual harassment reminders that they should leave it to the men The strength and perseverance that it took for them to pursue their dreams in a man s world was inspiring The unfolding of the case is straight forward and fast paced It was eye opening to see how far we have come in forensics There were times that too much background was given on each character There is a scene where Kay and her daughter are driving the daughter is 17 and they have a discussion on when Kay lost her virginity and sex This was very unnecessary and kind of jarring in the middle of a high point in the investigation I understand that the author wanted us to see all sides of Kay but maybe he could have used another scene Overall this is a very fast paced interesting story Kay went on to have a stellar career with the CPD I highly recommend to readers who like true crime and maybe are looking for something a little less known.
