"Gina DePaulo's true crime memoir, Unopened Doors , is gripping! From start to finish. DePaulo's writing is clear and taut, yet beautifully descriptive, possibly the greatest attribute for an author! The echo's and subtle connections between the parallel narratives is highly effective. I also enjoyed DePaulo's use of metaphors that held subtle resonant themes throughout. A most wonderful read!" —Misha Glenny, author of McMafia, Dark Market, Nemesis and other works

"Part true-crime, part whodunnit, part memoir, Unopened Doors takes us into DePaulo's terrifying encounter with evil as a young woman and her determination, years later, to confront and overcome that evil. With the help of renowned cold case specialist, Paul Holes, DePaulo goes on a harrowing, but ultimately, triumphant journey into her past where memory and trauma intersect and where healing is finally possible. Told in DePaulo's distinctive poetic voice, Unopened Doors is both a triumph of storytelling and a triumph of spirit." —Zoe Fitzgerald Carter, author of Imperfect Endings

"I believe Gina made certain instinctual decisions during her attack that guided how she interacted with a killer that may have saved her life, allowing her to share her fascinating and compelling story today." —Paul Holes, Cold Case Investigator (ret)
