I can't remember where I heard about this non-fiction book about an Australian court case. Presumably on my true-crime extravaganza. And chose it because I'd read some of Garner's fiction and love her writing. The writing in this is great, vivid and succinct, but the story is not - succinct. Sometimes I felt like I was there in the courtroom falling asleep. It is a terrible and tragic story about a man who has been accused of deliberately driving his car off the road into a piece of water behind a dam, escaping from the car himself, and leaving behind his three young boys who drown. Garner reports on the trial in excruciating detail, as if because she had to sit through it, we should do so too. I was interested, I did finish, but it could have done with some editing.
