There are now many books on subject, this is the best imho

Daughters of Juarez takes you through the journey of this sad, despoiled human landscape. Women by the hundreds have disappeared, been taken away. Rather than offer a single neat solution, the book goes through the hope and agony of the search for answers. Mysterious and shadowing figures flit away, then are confronted, only to slip away again. Government officials are hopelessly corrupt if not actively blocking any real investigation. Investigators themselves have turned up dead. Right along our border.

This book is not a tome or a treatise...it simply tells the story with raw and soul-felt power. It came out several years ago, but I think it is still the best book covering this horrific type of femicide.

Stunning account of the murders of young women

This book both startled and disturbed me to know what is happening in a city just across the Texas border because of the way women are treated. he machilladoras are not helping by hiring young girls to work long evening hours with little way for these girls to be safe. The Mexican govenment is not protecting them either. The drug lords and pedifiles have a field day. The abuse of women has created a "killing field." It is trully sad and pathetic that human being particularly young women are not treated with respect and humanity. When the U.S. diplomats are in Mexico to deal with making momey by way of importing goods, they must have some regulation as to what American companies demand as to the practices of their companies in Mexico. All people should read this book to see what is happening when the poor are desparate for work and will sacrifice their lives to take care of their families.

Best Book About Corruption in Mexico

This book is a real eye opener as to the legal system and human rights abuse in Mexico.

Daughters of Juarez

Daughters of Juarez is a disturbing story, but it is a true account of the unsolved mysteries of these young women's lost lives. It is an insight into the poverty and injustice that occurs daily in this border town and surrounding areas.

A Good Source of Information for the Determined Reader

Anyone who doesn't know about the awful murders of women in Juarez and the disgraceful inability of agencies to locate and convict the murderer(s) must read this book. The events are shocking and even more shocking is the ineptness of those charged with investigating or perhaps even their collusion in the crimes. Given that this story so needs to be told, it is unfortunate that it is not more compellingly told in this book. The book would have benefited from reader aids like a timeline and cast of characters or perhaps some diagram of how the justice system works. I really wanted to know more about the young women as individuals and about the heroic people who were/are committed to obtaining justice for them. The emotional hook was lacking from this book. Probably only a determined reader would keep going through the confusing and rather pedestrian narrative--which is a shame. I expected more vivid and engaging writing from an award-winning journalist and a true crime writer.
