Dear The Boy from Tiger Bay,
You were another interesting trek into a true crime case that I knew nothing about. You did a balanced job of telling the story from the accused's point of view and showed the gross miscarriage of justice that happened to these 5 men. You felt like an accurate representation of what happened, the families fight for justice and the ultimate conclusion that happened. You were interesting and informative without reading like a textbook.

This was depressing, but an important story to have aired. I guess it's good to know that wrongful convictions aren't a USA specialty.
There were some parts that dragged, but overall a thorough look at a case I hadn't heard of before.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ALC

I wasnt sure how to rate this book. If you just look at the overall story it was jaw dropping. I can see why the author was so intriqued and did so much research into this case. It is absolutely horrible and the fact that this case actually has an ending to wrap it up and go WTF is insane. With wrongful conviction cases like these you rarely have that. On the other hand maybe it was the writing or how it was told but I just could not get into this. There would be times that I was intrigued and invested and other times just reading through it to get through it. I am glad I never gave up on it because the ending had me going WHAT?!? and my jaw dropping open.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing for the free audiobook ine xchange for my honest review. Ceri Jackson narrates the audiobook and does a great job!

A great true crime story! Lynette White was brutally murdered on Valentine’s Day 1988 and a corrupt and racially prejudiced police force pursued and falsely incarcerated five men. I was not familiar with this story but found it intriguing. The impact on the 5 men and their families was harrowing reading.

Recommend for true crime readers!
