The Lost Girls by Ava Benny-Morrison
4.0
Aus true crime, tragic story of mum & daughter assaulted and murdered
• Australian true crime
• triggering content: murder, drug use, sexual abuse
The story - what happened - is so tragic and heart wrenching. It boggles the mind how some people get away with so much before they finally do something that there’s no recovering from - in this case murder. The young mother and child who were murdered are the escalation of a man who brings nothing but destruction to everyone he crosses and harms, victimised and abuses who knows how many people before finally committing murder. He should’ve been put in jail and kept there ages before his path even crossed with them.
That list of children ages names and some locations - police didn’t find connections due to lack of enough info but I bet everything he has done what the list implies.
ANYWAY - this book is well researched with a lot of resources and interviews with personal accounts from those involved and victims and is told in a chronological order of bodies found and them being connected to a cold missing persons case. I think the research the writing style and the storytelling set up is done well and as objectively as it can be done - even though it comes across a little frustrating when everyone involved get their say and you just know what a scum someone in particular is - Grrr.
Ava does this story justice in the way it is told.
