Reviews for This House of Grief: the story of a murder Trial

• This House of Grief: criminal justice viewed from the coal face by Christopher Kremmer. 'Garner’s closely observed, vividly impressionistic portrait of a court case reminded me of Plato’s dictum that “Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens”. In other words, a legal system that relies on people to function will always be prone to human failings.' The Conversation, 21st August, 2014.
• Review by Catherine Mah from The Guardian's Culture Blog. This House of Grief starts almost like a modern fairytale: a hard-working Aussie bloke and his young family building their dream house in a Victorian country town. But the happily-ever-after is shattered not one paragraph in when the wife asks her husband to leave. Ten months later, the ex-husband drives his children into a dam on Father’s Day, drowning them in his old Commodore while he himself escapes. A seven-year ordeal of investigation, trial and the pursuit of justice follows, teasing out whether what happened that night was a tragic accident or deliberate, vengeful murder.The Guardian, 20 August 2014.

Morag Fraser, The Age, August 14th 2004.
