Copy received from Hachette Australia for an honest review

Forget watching Making A Murderer - read Southern Justice instead!

Over the past year, I have been reading articles and hearing about the case of Sue Neill-Fraser and her conviction for murdering her partner Bob Chappell.

I have read articles about her conviction, and about how an innocent woman has probably been put behind bars for 23 years.

What I have read previously is so, so much less than what has really happened to this woman.

I had such a visceral reaction as I was reading. I was gripping the book so hard as I turned each page, getting more angry, more upset and more frustrated with what these so called police officers and prosecutors have done to not only Ms Neill-Fraser, but to the people who were doing their own investigation.

Gah, even writing this review I am getting frustrated again.

What I really liked about this book was the writing. Often when you read true crime books, the writing is very dry and hard to get into the story, hard to read. This was so not the case with Southern Justice.

I was drawn right into the unbelievable, yet sadly true story. I felt i was there with the writer as he was investigating.

I hope, that with the TV documentary Undercurrent now showing, and the more media attention this case receives, that something can be done to see justice served.
