Reviews

“Out of the complex story of his country’s most famous murder trial, Australian lawyer, journalist and novelist John Bryson has fashioned a remarkable book, one that resonates with moral ambiguities and wrenching emotions. . . . Bryson’s handling of the complicated testimony about physical evidence is a model of clarity and coherence. . . . Far more important, however, is his quietly devastating portrait of the ugly undercurrent of ignorance and prejudice that ran against Lindy Chamberlain almost from the beginning.” —Newsday
 
“One of the most interesting and disturbing books I’ve ever read about the social and emotional ramifications of a criminal trial . . . [Bryson] turns the worst nightmare of false justice into an affirmation of honest grit, without losing sight of how easily Lindy Chamberlain could still be in jail. . . . Terrific.” —Erika Munk, The Village Voice
 
“Five hundred and fifty pages of cinematic excitement.” —Maeve Binchy
 
“Non-stop excitement . . . Bryson piles shock upon shock as he spirits readers all over the map: To courtrooms in Darwin and Alice Springs; to the homes of aboriginal trackers; to forensic laboratories in Australia, England and the United States; even to an Adelaide zoo, for bizarre experiments in the likely behavior of dingoes. . . . Books don’t get more interesting than this one.” —The Virginian-Pilot
 
“An impressive literary document.” —The Times (London)
 
“Hypnotic.” —The Mail on Sunday
 
“Stunning and disturbing.” —The Australian
 
“A fine work of literature. The dramatic intensity never wavers.” —The Age (Melbourne)
 
“A story with the tragic force of a Shakespearian drama.” —Monthly Review
 
“A work of art.” —Australian Book Review
