It’s a bit hard to rate this, since I’ve actually watched the excellent tv show adaptation first. But the prose are great, the story interesting—even more so because I’m Canadian and this is a story set there, and of some historical interest and importance.

The most interesting thing, for me, was the ending, which I think departs from the show quite a bit. Or I’m just remembering wrong, which is quite possible. Either way, I hadn’t known the last part, as to what became of Grace herself, so I was glad to get the complete picture. I think the show might have attempted a lot more mystery.

There are some contrivances you would have expected to be fictitious, but apparently much of it is close to record, or what people had said and was recorded. You never really know all of the things you’d know in a work of fiction like this. At least, usually, I’d say. Some withhold that kind of catharsis, but generally not historical crime and mysteries, I’ve found. But I found it all pretty interesting, though maybe how it was told propelled me along. And the narrator was excellent on audible.
