Brian Patrick O’Donoghue wrote a strong true crime novel, it had that research element that I was looking for and was engaged with what happened to the people in this case. It was brutal and was glad this was so well done.

The Fairbanks Four by Brian Patrick O’Donoghue is a powerful, well-researched true-crime narrative that recounts the wrongful conviction and eventual exoneration of four young men in Alaska. The book dives deep into the details of the 1997 murder case, examining the flaws in the investigation, the manipulation of evidence, and the racial biases that led to the men's incarceration. O’Donoghue’s thorough investigation and clear, concise writing make the story both compelling and heartbreaking. It sheds light on a miscarriage of justice that affected not only the individuals involved but also the larger community. The Fairbanks Four is a sobering and thought-provoking exploration of the American criminal justice system, offering a profound look at the consequences of systemic failures and the pursuit of truth.

I do love me some true crime! And this book…this book is just that! the Fairbanks Four is a very interesting read and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys digging into the nitty gritty of crimes!
