The Janine Balding Story by Janet Fife-Yeoman and Beverley Balding recounts the 1988 murder that stunned Australia, told through a mother’s eyes. This 1995 Pan Macmillan trade paperback blends true-crime reportage with intimate biography, giving voice to a family’s grief and a nation’s search for justice.
Illustrated with family photographs, the 242-page narrative follows the investigation, court proceedings, and aftermath while honouring Janine’s memory. The clean, unmarked pages and tight binding make it a solid reading copy; light foxing on the front endpapers is noted but does not intrude on text.
Collectors of Australian true crime and readers who value victim-centred storytelling will find this edition a poignant addition to their shelves.
