I pretty much read A FALSE REPORT in one sitting. It is deeply
disturbing but brilliant. I hope it helps with the seismic shift
needed in attitudes to women who are brave enough to come forward
when they have been assaulted.
*Sandi Toksvig*
A deep, disturbing, compelling, important book. A False Report digs
into timeless issues – crime, victimhood, honesty, sexism – which
have never been more timely. It is also a fascinating, sharply
written story that will twist and surprise you.
*Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief*
Incredibly compelling true-crime... Miller and Armstrong have
forensically examined the case of a serial rapist, giving the
victims a voice while underlining the importance of collaborative
police work and believing testimonies - especially in circumstances
of sexual violence.
*A Stylist Spring Pick*
The collection of interviews and research is remarkable.
*TLS*
A riveting and disturbing true-crime story that reflects the
enduring atrocity of rape in America.
