A review by jenmaysie
The Night Dragon by Matthew Condon

2.0

This book was very interesting to read/listen to. Most of the reviews I’ve seen of this talk about how it pales in comparison to other books about the Whiskey fires but I’m fortunately not very familiar with a lot of Australian true-crime. I enjoyed this book and I believe it was well executed. I do think it was quite slow toward the middle but overall it was an interesting look at O’Dempsey and his crimes.

I’m glad I read this and I think book did a great job of highlighting that Australian true-crime is just as compelling as those written by US authors. Not my favourite true-crime read by any means but I still think it was solid and worth the listen.
