The Fairbanks Four by Brian Patrick O’Donoghue

The Fairbanks Four by Brian Patrick O’Donoghue was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. While I spent many years in wild and cold Fairbanks, Alaska just before these events, I had never heard of these crimes or this author. This is a true crime story where a youngster was murdered by four people whom the police caught and they were convicted after confessions were made. Lo and behold, friends and family fought the convictions and eventually prevailed. The book jumps around crazily in time and people but it is well documented. If you, or someone you buy gifts for is interested in true crime/courtroom type novels, or just central Alaska in general, give this book a read.

3.5 stars
