I wanted to read this book as the story sounded so fascinating but on the other hand I hadn’t read any true crime books before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was really impressed. This book is written so well, it brilliantly captures all sides of the story and manages to maintain an impartiality all the way through. The main part of the story follows the court case that followed the death of the victim but that is perfectly embedded in the context of the history of the community, and the families that live there, which was fascinating in itself. Come the end of this book I was actually quite moved as I could feel the sense of loss and the impact that the whole incident had had on the families and community involved.
