Greenwood, Elizabeth

This work by Greenwood (Playing Dead: A Journey Through the World of Death Fraud) offers an engaging, informative, open-minded account of family dynamics that are often overlooked.

There may be better books on disappearing and death fraud—Greenwood is led to two of her interviewees by their accounts—but this one is directed more at readers who, like the author, fantasize their problems are daunting enough, and their ability to resolve them lacking enough, that they find merely flirting with the idea invigorating.
