Can anyone recommend a good true crime that involves kidnapping?

[Victoria]

I'm interested in true crime/ crime books that involve kidnapping and entrapment. (Like the Amanda Berry case or something like that.) It can be fiction based on a true story or nonfiction, as long as it's well written, sometimes nonfiction can be a little slow. Basically something that you read and say..,"oh. My. God. That was insane." Haha thanks!

Perfect Victim: The True Story of "The Girl in the Box" by Carla Norton comes to mind. It is about Colleen Stan. She was abducted by Cameron Hooker and held captive for seven years.

One of the best I've read to date is "A Beautiful Child. This true crime story tells the story of a monster masquerading as a human, Warren Marshall, aka Franklin Floyd who kidnapped a child, raised her as his daughter, then passed her off as his wife and mother of his child. There's much, much more to the sad story of this beautiful, smart, sweet young woman, but doing so would divulge too much of the story-which, btw, remains unsolved to this day. Highly, highly recommend.

Perfect!!! Thank you guys! I added all those to my reading list.

I can't tell much more: I suggest my "Doppio Omicidio" but... it's in Italian! I would be glad to give you a copy as a gift.

About the Adam Walsh case.

I recently completed Jaycee Dugards book, it was a very hard read but it was really inspirational.

[Amanda]

Polly Klaas The Murder Of America's Child is a really good book about kidnapping.

3,096 Days - I can't spell the author's name as I believe it's Russian but it is an incredible story.

Actually writing one for fun

One that's hard to beat is 83 Hours Till Dawn, the memoir of a woman who was buried alive in a box after being kidnapped from her sickbed. Another I can very highly recommend is Stolen Away: The True Story of Californias Most Shocking Kidnapmurder.

Recently I translated "Doppio Omicidio" in English, I can give you a copy as a gift. It involves (half-spoiler) a kidnapping.

That's Natascha Kampusch. FYI, she's Viennese.

Oh, and I totally forgot to mention I Choose to Live by Sabine Dardenne.

[Fishface]

I can't believe I didn't mention Die For Me: The Terrifying True Story of the Charles Ng & Leonard Lake Torture Muders. Those two losers kept people captive in a secret underground bunker and did horrible things to them. There are other books on them -- Eye of Evil, No Kill, No Thrill: The Shocking True Story of Charles Ng One of North America's Most Horrific Serial Killers and The Sex Slave Murders 3: The Horrific Tale of Serial Killers Leonard Lake and Charles Ng.

I read the Jaycee Dugard story a few years ago. Very riveting. Felt some of the details were left out,but very detailed in the telling.
Feel as if Ms Dugart left some details out because it was just too painful to relive.

Oh, and here's the worst one of all: Rites Of Burial. Absolutely nightmarish.
