Ratings and reviews

It is OK, but only just. Read the triology already and this book is a bit of an extension of those three books. Biggest issues are there is a lot of supposition, guilt by association and many other things that there simply is no proof. It is alright to think that Mr or Ms X is guilty of something but it needs more than the "gut feelings" or even beliefs that someone to say they are crooks or crims. CONDON has failed to give much evidence instead relying on a lot of unproven allegations. A bit of a let down for mine, but I am sure there be another follow book at some point and perhaps that will have more provable facts within. We do neeed to know about this period of Qld history, but we need to know the truth.

Another great insight into the corruption of the state. Sad though that to this day it still continues due to a status being their right to do it. Thank you again Matthew for the time and effort you put in to these books.

Good Book.
