 I'd Give this No Stars If I Could!, August 30, 2008
Mrs. F. R. Orr (Herts)
This book is full of typos and bad grammar, but more that that, it is full of lies. It was my dearest friend whose daughter heard all the screaming in the road and at whose house Tracie Andrews turned up and spun her lies. It was my friend, who is ex-police, that alerted the police officers to the knife shaped blood stain on Andrew's leg. She also said that Tracie had been badly beaten up (so much for the "gentle" son Harvey tries to depict). My friend is a solicitor and said that Andrews would have got a much lighter sentence if she'd admitted it was a domestic row that got out of hand. What she and I will never forgive Maureen Harvey for is revealing my friend's daughters' name. She is still on a protected list of witness and Harvey has blown it. Apart from anything else, it is badly written and and full of hatred - do yourself a favour, save your money and don't buy the book!

This book-written by the victims mother was always going to be slightly one-sided. Of course she painted her son in a glowing light-Lee was her son!!! What else would she do?
However, the book was well written and in parts had me in tears.

Having read some of the reviews on here i was dubious of reading this book. However, i decided to when i saw it on the shelf at the library.
No one can understand what the family and friends of Lee went through. The only people that know the real Lee are those closes to him. All i know is that i would never believe a word that comes out of Tracie Andrews mouth. Some people are under the impression that they were both as bad as each other, i personally do not believe this. I cant say i enjoyed reading this book but it was nice to hear the story from Maureen. I had forgotten a lot of the information, reading it again i just hope she stays behind bars for as long as possible!

I was worried about writing a review for this book as i didnt want to appear insenstive, however i dont think Maureen comes across very well in the book. Yes she has lost her son and that is completely devestating but i believe the story to contain many inacurracies, that even a reader who knows nothing but the media version can see.
In the beginning of the book, she actually turns on the well wishers and supporters, people who genuinely wanted to help and give her a listening ear instead she vilifies these well wishes and is almost to a point vindictive about them.
The book is not that well written but the story is as others have said "unputdownable" it just irks me that she has used the book to have a pop at people she doesnt like, i appreciate the book would be biased but some of the things in there seem so far fetched.

Yes, I feel sorry for anyone who loses a child, no matter how it happens. And I feel sorry for Maureen Harvey. But this book is so biased and full of little inaccuracies it is annoying ('Tracie held my hand at the press conference and I couldn't believe it' - NO - you took her hand Maureen) There are lots more of this sort of thing scattered though out the book and it becomes spot the 'dig' (at Tracie) or lie about events. Lee was not the angel she tries to portray here, he and Tracie were both as bad as each other. Even the title of this book is OTT. I believe that Christine Challand probably wrote most of this with very little input from Maureen and tried to turn it into some sort of crime novel based on a few facts. I gave 2 stars for interestingness - get it from the library instead.
