Interesting read about my local area. I don’t remember the shootings but found it was a fascinating read about the who, what and why that was involved.
I found that it jumped around a bit which I struggled with. The text was insightful and easy to read. I found the information about the sheep industry quite interesting but reading about the homophobia of the times brought back some tough memories.
I’m not usually a fan of true crime but I liked that it spent more time talking about how events led to the murders and how the family dealt with the aftermath, more than the actual crime itself.
Great for true crime fans and people interested in local history.

3.5 stars. I was curious to pick this up as I hadn't heard of the murders not the people before and while there where parts that was done well it was quite confusing at times. But it might have been my current head space.

Interesting story but the delivery was a bit all over the place for my liking

Not very well written, sometimes confusing, often very very boring. I stuck it out because I live in Hamilton where the Sheepvention is held and I was curious about something that happened in my local area, something I'd never heard of before I found this book. I just wish the writing was a bit more engaging than the eye glazing it could induce
