This book discusses the murders of two Catholic priests who had been on a mission to convert Native Inuit people to Christianity. I have a very negative opinion of religious conversion and missionaries in general, so I assumed this book would enrage me. It did. For several reasons. It is unfortunate that people cannot live in peace without having others come in and ruin everything. It is unfortunate that these people had to then deal with all the nonsense that came along with White people and their laws over the actions of a few people. All of this could have been avoided if people minded their own business, but...alas.
The physical copy of this book is 320 pages. The Audible version that I listened to is currently available on Audible Plus to listen to for free with your membership and lasted around 8 hours. I listened to it in almost my entire shift, finishing it last night when I got home. The narration was decent, and easy to follow along with. The book itself was informative, as I have never heard of this case before picking this book (because it was free to listen to). If you are interested in older true-crime stories or those involving Native peoples, this might be a good book for you to check out.
