Journal Entry 1 by winggoldenwattlewing from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Monday, August 10, 2020
It was on a beautiful morning in June 1973 that eleven-year-old Miller McAllister’s world fell apart … That was the weekend that police found the remains of three missing teenage girls on the tiny Scottish island of Fidra. And that was the weekend that Miller’s father, Douglas, was arrested for triple murder. Thirty-two years later, Douglas has died in prison and Miller returns home after decades of self-imposed exile. The McAllister family always maintained Douglas’s innocence – as steadfastly as Miller maintained his guilt. But when Miller is given the legal archive and a letter his father wrote to him just days before his death, suddenly everything looks less clear. To excavate the past and recover the truth, Miller immerses himself in the terrible events of over thirty years ago and his family’s darkest hour. Was nothing quite as it seemed on that fateful June day? Could Douglas McAllister have been innocent after all? And if he didn’t kill the girls … who did?

Bought at a library sale, from the Gunning Regional Library, NSW.

Journal Entry 2 by Needle-n-Thread at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Monday, December 28, 2020
THE RECKONING BY SUE WALKER is mostly set on the Isle of Fidra, one of five small islands along Scotland's east Lothian coast. Douglas McAllister had inherited a home there years before on Fidra, and each summer the family moved there for the holidays. Douglas was wrongly accused of murdering three young girls on Fidra and locked up. He was quite innocent and became ill and died. His wife had died a little earlier. There were legal papers and also a letter written by Douglas on his death bed. There had been a miscarriage of justice, and if so who was the real killer, where is he now. However it all comes out the murder was committed by a friend of the family, whom one wouldn't suspect. The story holds you until the end.
