I read this book a few years ago and found it fascinating. Although it is a long book I found it to be easy to read and fairly well written.A young baby goes missing,carried off into the night by a dingo,never to be seen again.The parents are charged with her murder but the evidence is at best,absurd and the attitude of Australia at this time is outrageous! This book is a first hand version of what happened as it is written by the mother accused of killing her baby.She tells this story with sadness at the cicumstances her family found themselves in. The police and research work for this case was a total shambles and Lindy Chamberlain and family suffered greatly because of this.Even as you read this book you know yourself that something is wrong with the way things seem to be going.Lies,rumours,pettiness and hatred are directed at this family but no motive or reason is given why this woman should feel the need to kill her child. A sad tale of a family whose lives are ruined by the verdict decided long before the case was ever brought to trial.
