Set in Milwaukee during the “Dahmer summer” of 1991, A remarkable debut novel for fans of Mary Gaitskill and Gillian Flynn about two sisters—one who disappears, and one who is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.In the summer of 1991, a teenage girl named Dee McBride vanished in the city of Milwaukee. Nearly thirty years later, her sister, Peg, is still haunted by her sister's disappearance. Their mother, on her deathbed, is desperate to find out what happened to Dee so the  family hires a psychic to help find Dee’s body and bring them some semblance of peace. The appearance of the psychic plunges Peg back to the past, to those final carefree months when she last saw Dee—the summer the Journal Sentinel called “the deadliest . . . in the history of Milwaukee.” Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s heinous crimes dominated the headlines and overwhelmed local law enforcement. The disappearance of one girl was easily overlooked.Peg’s hazy recollections are far from easy for her to interpret, assess, or even keep clear in her mind. And now digging deep into her memory raises doubts and difficult—even terrifying—questions. Was there anything Peg could have done to prevent Dee’s disappearance? Who was really to blame for the family's loss? How often are our memories altered by the very act of voicing them? And what does it mean to bear witness in a world where even our own stories are inherently suspect?A heartbreaking page-turner, Willa C. Richards’ debut novel is the story of a broken family looking for answers in the face of the unknown, and asks us to reconsider the power and truth of memory.

The human ear is a very delicate thing.“You’re going to have to tell the truth eventually.”“I am telling the truth.”“Tell it better.”When an unreliable narrator tells you she’s unreliable, does the story then … become reliable?Buffeted by rules of evidence, author Willa C. Richards takes the reader by the hand through the garbage strewn streets of Milwaukee, an odd, yet fitting paradox; a coaxing backdrop to a tale of a sister gone missing. It becomes as lurid as it is raw.It’s That summer in Milwaukee, the summer of the serial killer, whose story so informs the novel, that by the sheer weight of its parallel nature, forces you to remain in the same space, draining not only critical resources from law enforcement but the collective psychosis of the community, as well as the mental fortitude of the aggrieved family.There’s not only the fear Candace (Dee) may have been one of the serial killer’s victims, there’s also the fear that her older sister, Margaret (Peg), may be in danger as well. This perceived danger is not only from the neighborhood in which Peg lives, but men.Men.Richards relishes the opportunity to not only inform, at one point naming all of the serial killer’s victims, but also to expose the Milwaukee Police Department’s (MPD) peculiar obliviousness as well as the adjoining culpability of the media (specifically The Milwaukee Journal, now Journal Sentinel), to what is actually going on in the community they ‘serve.’I read the account of Glenda Cleveland (look her up), and was once again, appalled. A boy might have been saved.Dee’s disappearance however, is not the only element that propels the novel, which makes The Comfort of Monsters an amalgamation; an undeniably unique tale steeped in three dimensional loss and family dysfunction, rather than a superficial crime novel solely motivated by a missing girl.Told in flashbacks to provide context and a depth so subversive, it stings when I thought it would breathe, Richards voices the novel through the older sister. Peg is so wracked by guilt, that you feel the guilt metastasize, mainly through the men upon whom she is forced to rely; but in her current state of mind, has little choice. There’s her brother, Peter; boyfriend Leif, Dee’s boyfriend, Frank, and the detective, Wolski (no relation *wink*).The Comfort of Monsters defies categorization. It’s wrenching and well written, raw and riveting, and like the Milwaukee described therein, pulls you to the dregs, willingly. I found not one redeemable character in the story.The only redemption is in the telling.
