The Murders of Lillian Ross by Sirena Van Schaik – Review by Robbyn Perkins

The Murders of Lillian Ross by Sirena Van Schaik
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Allison McKinnon is a true crime writer. The writer has created a career on writing the stories of crimes in the perspective of the victim and has never worked on the perspective of the villain. This is the reason that Lillian Ross has chosen Allison to write her story. Lillian Ross is on death row for two murders. Lillian has never told her story, and she decides that Allison is the right person to write the story that she wants to tell after all these years. Other books have been written about Lillian Ross, but those were only half true, and never came from Lillian Ross herself. Allison now finds herself intertwined with this roller coaster of emotions that have come from this crime story and the intensity of the women behind these stories, Lillian Ross.

The author, Sirena Van Schaik, captured my attention right from the beginning. I was instantly lost in this book and I could not put it down. I really enjoyed reading it so much and happy to have discovered this author. Sirena’s ability to write and interlock details of past occurrences with today’s tragedies, in the story plot, in order to help current women with traumatic experiences is breath-taking.
