Publisher's Summary

In 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped on her morning walk to the school bus. The search for Jaycee made national headlines, and the case was repeatedly featured on America's Most Wanted. But despite her family's tireless efforts, Jaycee's disappearance remained a mystery.

Then, in August 2009, a registered sex offender named Phillip Garrido appeared on the University of California, Berkeley, campus alongside two young women whose unusual behavior sparked concern among campus officials and law enforcement. That visit would pave the way for a shocking discovery: That Garrido was Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapper.

For eighteen years Jaycee had lived on the Garrido property in Antioch, California. Kept in complete isolation, she was repeatedly raped by Garrido, who fathered her two daughters. When news broke of Jaycee's discovery, there was a huge outpouring of relief across the nation. But questions remain: How did the Garridos slip past authorities? And how did Jaycee endure her captivity? This is the story of a girl-next-door who was lost and found.

A Bit Of A Head-Shaker

On the one hand, kidnapper/rapist Phillip Garrido maddeningly fell through the cracks in the criminal justice system - getting away with a horrifying crime for 18 years. On the other - before being caught - the only real clues to his guilt were a forensic history, being secretive, and acting "weird" (not exactly glaring). Despite the author's contention, I don't personally blame the system or incompetent LEOs for this tragedy - the guy was a clever psycho.
Fortuitously for True Crime fans, John Glatt does a commendable job documenting Garrido's criminal behavior evolving into delusion and provides a book that is well-written, structured logically, and exhaustively researched.. but it's also pretty clear that Glatt rushed this book to get it to publication under a year after Jaycee Dugard and her daughters were freed (printing numerous contradictions to the victim's own subsequently published recollections, for example). The book suffers from a lack of victim's POV detail, and the obvious effort to capitalize on the notoriety is a bit off-putting.

Doubtless, an oddly "upbeat" narration from Randye Kaye contributes to my "meh" assessment of the book, too. Her diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing are undeniably professional.. but her peppy reading tone is so incongruous to the subject matter that it's hard to reconcile. Tantor Audio Inc. should have hired someone else to read the work.

In toto, I rate 'Lost And Found: The True Story of Jaycee Lee Dugard and the Abduction That Shocked The World' a fairly disappointing 7 stars out of 10. As a 'Plus' option (included with my subscription), it was a satisfying diversion for a couple of quiet afternoons.. but spend your Credit on something else should they ask for one.
