Thomas Andrew Keir is an Australian man who was convicted of killing his first wife, Jean. Jean's body was not recovered completely, but enough of her remains were able to be identified after extensive DNA testing was done. Keir's story about his first wife's vanishing was absolutely not believable in any way, shape, or form. He remarried some time after Jean vanished, to her cousin, Rosalina. Rosalina was also found dead inside the same home that Jean vanished from, strangled and then set on fire. Keir was charged with her murder as well, but was only convicted of Jean's.

The book was written by a police officer who worked on this case, and you can certainly tell that by the way the story is told. I listened to the Audible version last night while I was doing some work on my laptop, and the narrator was decent to listen to. I believe the listening time was something like six hours, but the paperback version of this book is just around 300 pages if you are interested in that. I had never heard of this case, which makes sense because I do not know about many Australian cases in general. I learned a lot about police procedure in a different country than mine, so that was fun. I am glad that he was convicted and managed to serve some time, though he was eventually released and immediately got back up to shenanagins. I felt terrible for the families of both of these women, and for the child who now has to live with a dead mother, a dead step-mother, and a father who killed them both and who was a terrible father and person in general.
