This is an extremely raw account of an unimaginable tragedy and I felt my heart go out to Lynette, Steve and Scarlett and Georgia. We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and improve our understanding of you.

Our Georgia by Lynnette Williams, Robin Eveleigh | Waterstones

I’d been having nightmares about these woods, imagining them as dark and scary, and crawling with insects.

Reynolds was charged with murder, and Steve and Lynnette made a harrowing journey to lay flowers at the scene. The sheer determination this family has shown is amazing, especially, how after a murder this brought the family the powerful strength for the quest for justice.

I was interested in reading this because I tend to prefer true crime books that offer a view of the victim as a human being rather than just a murder victim. Two years later when he rammed a colleague’s car after she spurned his advances, police wrote it up as a traffic accident. This book is the true life story of the brutal murder of Georgia, and her families battle for justice.This book was written by Georgia’s mother, who offers a very unique perspective into the aftermath of losing a child in such a horrific way and her families battle for justice. At first, I thought the book was just a typical true crime story, but as I got further into it, I found myself getting more and more emotionally invested in Georgia's story. if they had taken the previous assaults and various other signs seriously, in my opinion it would have been very obvious that he was a ticking time bomb. Lynn and Steve found out that Renolds had been in the system years before he murdered Georgia when he loured a girl in his class to his house and tried to strangle her but she got away. The same force, Steve and Lynnette discovered, had had Reynolds in its sights for years before Georgia’s murder, but let him slip their net.
