The bright, witty, and articulate Appalachian twentysomething seems wise beyond her years, and she’s ambitious, with a goal of solving a mystery like Nancy Drew by doing her own investigation. In, Kasick follows her over several years, chronicling the rise and fall of the podcast and its plucky young host., investigated the mysterious death of 20-year-old Jaleayah Davis.
