Thank you to Robin Eveleigh; Lynnette Williams, Mardle Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.Georgia Williams was 17 when she was murdered by a friend called Jamie Reynolds. 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. This is a memoir by a mum about her daughter's murder. Georgia hadn't quite been 18; she should have had all her life ahead of her. Part memoir, part true crime, Our Georgia - The Devastating Murder of My Daughter By a Killer Who Should've Been Stopped by Lynnette Williams and journalist Robin Eveleigh is one of those books that's hard to put down. It’s a burst of sunshine for all of us,” says Lynnette. “I’m really chuffed, especially for Scarlett. She’s always wanted children, I hope motherhood brings her the happiness she deserves.” Steve said grief forced his ­retirement from West Mercia’s Major Investigation Unit.

Wow...what a tragic story! I feel so much for the family & all they had to go through, especially when it seems like it could have been prevented. Yet at the same time I wondered, even if everything had been done by the book, would Jamie have still killed? I would say he would have. But if the justice system had worked perfectly Georgia's family would NOT have anyone to blame.

Who is Jamie Reynolds?

I appreciated the authors insights into what she was feeling, how her family was handling things, etc. Furthermore, Williams' writing style is both engaging and heart-wrenching. She doesn't sugar-coat her experiences or emotions and instead presents a raw and authentic account of the tragedy. Readers will feel as though they are right there with her through each step of her journey and will have a newfound appreciation for her bravery and strength. This is made even more profound given that her husband was a serving police officer at the time of Georgia’s murder. And to be clear, I am not victim shaming nor am I judging them on trying to get answers, I just felt that it was so much of the book and it was repetitive.

In this powerful moving memoir Lynnette and Steve expose the many failures that let Reynolds infiltrate their daughter's life and allowed him to kill.

To lie, deceive and place the blame on everyone but themselves. This naturally just made them look even worse. This was a case that took over the British headlines at the time due to its detail and severity and the fact that even when your father is a high-ranking member of the police force, and you are murdered, his employers are not immune or averse to lying to you, either. 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. Georgia Williams was killed on May 26, 2103, after she was lured to the home of college pal Jamie Reynolds. She thought she was helping him with a ­photoshoot, instead, the scenario was horrifyingly real. All the agencies are at fault and should have seen the red flags that this young psychopath was able to lie, deceive and get away with at such a young age. I was disgusted at how the police treated Steve and Lynn, especially considering Steve was a serving member of the force.
