Our group agreed this was a good writer, and that the topics were quite dark. As a journalist, he would have known of these events and decided they were worth exploring. We liked the 'Tim' story; sad about the mistaken knifing of the Chinese. |

We found some of the stories moving or fascinating, while wondering why others had been included. A quirky book about those overlooked by other media in police cases. |
