I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Probably the best true crime piece I’ve ever seen done, with a clear point about emphasizing the actual people who were killed and the community, with actual policy changes suggested at the end. It was a sensitive piece done well. Highly recommend.

Important, thoughtful, respectful, and incredibly well researched. A beautifully crafted book of a terrible time in Toronto's history.

This book about the serial murder of eight or more queer men in Toronto is a sad cautionary tale and call for community care and action in the face of murders of queer men and other marginalized folks. The author’s empathy for the victims and their families and his thoughtful critique of society, police, media, etc. really shine here. If I’m going to read a true crime story, I want to learn something and for it to have a deeper purpose, not just a gruesome, sensationalized story. This book definitely had a larger purpose and I’m glad I read it.
