claired1982's review
This was an excellent read, based on a man who went into child protection and what actually happens when someone reports abuse, was quite an educational read, would highly recommend it

I find books like this fascinating, as I have previously worked in child protection so it strikes a chord with me. Harry Keeble is new to me as an author, and I found his accounts from his working days truly fascinating. The stories are all so sad and have quite the impact, but most of the stories aren’t followed through. It would have been nice to hear how more of them ended, with some more positives. Otherwise, it sits as a load of different accounts thrown together without any conclusion. I can only hope that the majority of the children he covers here have gone on to find happiness and safety.

This is definitely not going to win any awards for writing skill, but I thought it would be good to read before Frontline. Keeble is a decent storyteller but the disjointed style did him no favours.
