Scatterings, set in Santa Cruz California in the ’80s, weaves the true crime story of the Trailside Killer into a suspenseful, heartbreaking mystery of an abducted identical twin sister. Characters come to life against the colorful backdrop of Santa Cruz’s beauty and weirdness.

Beautifully written and heart-wrenching, Elena Storer, with a PhD in psychology and a practicing trauma psychotherapist, brings her expertise and passion to illuminate the nature of the heart’s evil, loss, and resilience. Scatterings tenderly highlights one of life’s great mysteries: love deepens and blooms in the depth of grief.

local horror

The book is engaging, with a lots of local landmarks and places for a Santa Cruzan, the plot is full of twists and turns, mystery and mystics, plus a dose of psychology. Good narrator that created a very clear separation between the characters and the accents.
I enjoyed listening to it .
