Journal Entry 1 by herrgirl from Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire United Kingdom on Friday, December 2, 2005
Synopsis:
In 1970, Harold Stamp, a retarded twenty-year-old was convicted on disputed evidence and a retracted confession of brutally murdering his grandmother - the one person who understood and protected him. Less than three years later he is dead, driven to suicide by isolation and despair. A fate befitting a murderer, perhaps, but what if he were innocent? Thirty years on, Jonathan Hughes, an anthropologist specialising in social stereotyping, comes across the case by accident. He finds alarming disparities in the evidence and has little doubt that Stamp's conviction was a terrible miscarriage of justice. But how far is Hughes prepared to go in the search for justice? Is the forgotten story of one friendless young man compelling enough to make him leave his books and face his own demons? And with what result? If Stamp didn't murder Grace Jeffries then somebody else did...and sleeping dogs are best left alone...

A favourite author - but this will have to go to the bottom of the TBR pile.

Complex novel, sifting through events of the past to prove the innocence of a convicted murderer. Held my attention throughout- but the end was awfully tame!

Journal Entry 5 by jillbe from Dorchester, Dorset United Kingdom on Tuesday, February 26, 2008
I'm glad to have had the opportunity to read this one, especially as some of the plot was set very locally to where I live.

However, I think the plot was a little too complex and needed quite a fair bit of unravelling and I am not sure that I got the plot by the end of the story!!

Now going to release etc.
