#1 Bestselling True Crime Book "The Girls Are Gone" Launch Audiobook; Debuts at #1

LAKEVILLE, Minn. - EntSun -- Selling 10,000 copies of your book in less than a year is a feat most authors can only dream of.

For Michael Brodkorb and Allison Mann—first-time authors of the wildly successful Minnesota true crime book The Girls Are Gone—it's the reality that led them to record an audiobook version of the award-winning book.

Not long after the book was published, Brodkorb and Mann soared to the #1 spot on Amazon's Best Sellers in Divorce, where it currently holds the #4 spot. They've also held a top 25 spot on Amazon's Best Sellers in True Crime multiple times throughout the past year, and won a gold medal in the true crime category at the 2019 Independent Book Publishing Awards (http://www.ippyawards.com/132/medalists/2019-me...).

"We are so proud of the accomplishments of our first year," said author Allison Mann. "All we wanted when we started out was to share this important story, and our success is an indication that it struck a serious cultural chord in America."

Out October 2019, the audiobook not only shares the story of the Rucki family but also includes a rare gem in the audiobook universe: never-before-heard audio, taken from the actual interviews conducted by Brodkorb and Mann while while reporting on this case.
