In 2017 the bodies of Barry & Honey Sherman were found in their Toronto home. The details surrounding their murders & the intrigue that seeped into their reputable social presence have left a community shocked & family members empty-handed.

As a Canadian myself, one who was raised in the Southern Ontario region in which this case took place, I felt it important to read this book. I didn't want to read about bloody murder because, at the end of the day, these were real people & I think it uncouth to seek a thrill at the expense of others, mainly those who have been unjustly extradited from this life.

That being said, I found that Donovan was able to present the information surrounding the case in a clear & conscience fashion without droning on about the minute details that the gore would have left on the scene. The lives of Barry & Honey were written about in a neutral but respectful fashion so that the reader might become familiar with who they were as individuals in their community.

At no point did I feel as though the couple was romanticized. They were normal people who had both negative & positive aspects to their characters & what befell them was in every way tragic & cruel.

I will admit that some factors of the book were redundant. I understand that this was done for the benefit of the reader who was consuming a lot of information in a short stint, which did not take away from me feeling a tinge of irritation.

Should you not have been aware of this case, of Barry & Honey, the Toronto wealth, or anything else, this is still a book worth reading.

Oh wow! Small world :) I'll be looking out for your review when you get the chance to read it! I hadn't heard about the case in real time but came across this book while perusing the shelves at Indigo & it was worth the read, in my humble opinion

CarolG Very nice review Chantel. I remember hearing about it when it happened. It was very mysterious. I think there was an update on the investigation fairly recently but no arrests that I recall.

Thank you so much, Carol!
Oh! I didn't know that! I'll have to do some research to see their updates. It's such a sad event I truly wish their entire family peace, I cannot fathom trying to move forward after something like this.
