On the same night that Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, ten-year-old Charlie Olmstead jumped on his bike to see if there was some way he could get a better look. It was the last anyone ever saw of him. After Perry Hollow Police Chief Jim Campbell found Charlie’s bike caught in the water above Sunset Falls, he assumed the worst. Everyone did—except Charlie’s mother.
Years later, Eric Olmstead—now a famous author and Charlie’s younger brother—has come back to Per More...

This is more like 3.5 stars, but I generally round up.
A little boy named Charlie Olmstead disappears from the small town of Perry Hollow on the night Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Everyone just assumes that he fell into a nearby stream, was carried over a waterfall, and killed. Everyone except his mother, who on her deathbed 40 years later asks her other son (a baby at the time of the disappearance) to find the truth of what happened that night. With the help More...

Along with the rest of the world, on July 20, 1969, the residents of Perry Hollow, Pennsylvania were transfixed by the images of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. One in particular, young Charlie Olmstead, was so overcome with excitement he begged his dad to let him go outside to look at the moon, convinced he’d be able to see Armstrong up there.
His father relented and young Charlie peddled off into the night on his bike, never to be seen again. A subsequent search turned up Charli More...

Loved this book. Well written, keep you guessing mystery/crime novel about the case of a boy missing for 40 years. I could not put this book down, just had to keep reading to find out who did it and it kept you guessing right up until the last part of the book. Anyone who like mystery or crime novels will like this book. Now that I have read this book I am going to have to read Todd Ritter's first novel Death Notice also and anything else that he writes.

This is one of the books I won on goodreads. The author is a very good writer. He kept my attention all the way through. And kept me guessing to what happened. I never would have figured it out! The characters were real..and I got to like most of them. I would buy another of Todd Ritter's books.

I couldn't put this book down. I needed to know what happened to Charlie, the boy who was declared dead when he was 10 even though there was no body. Todd Ritter is an author to look out for. There is a lot of potential!

I don't consider myself to be a big mystery writer, but sometimes a story appeals to me. This is a good one about a boy gone missing a long time ago. It was well written and interesting and twisty, I finished it in a few hours.
