Description

A story made all the more shocking because it's true.

In 1880, an organized mob of the Donnellys' enemies murders four family members and burns their house to the ground. Another sibling is shot to death in a house a short distance away. William Donnelly and a teenage boy are the only witnesses to the murders.

The surviving family members seek justice through the local courts but quickly learn that their enemies control the jury and the press. Two sensational trials follow that make national and international headlines as the Donnellys continue to pursue justice for their murdered parents, siblings, and cousin.

Behind the scenes, political factors are at play, as Oliver Mowat, the premier/attorney general of the province of Ontario, fearing the backlash a conviction would render, gradually withdraws support from the prosecution of the killers. After the trials, the Donnellys' enemies continue their crusade against the family, paying off potential witnesses to the murders and fabricating one last set of charges that they hope will put the remaining Donnellys away forever.

Contains mature themes.

Worst narrator ever

My guess is that at some point while narrating the book, someone told him that the state of Michigan is not pronounced “Mitch” igan because after mispronouncing it several times, he eventually gets it right towards the end of the book.
Unfortunately, he does not go back to re-record his previous botched mispronunciations.
Nor does he correct so many other mispronunciations of place and person names as they abound, and gratingly so.
Any lawyers out there? Feel like applying for a writ of heinous corpus? You may find it useful if your client is arrested on an “indiKtment”.
Or, for those who like to brush the hair on their teepee, how about buying yourself a “comb-a-tent”?
I feel badly for the author; his book deserved a more conscientious narrator. Garett Richards was awful, truly awful, and should be embarrassed by his shoddy work reading this book.
