New and updated, the paperback edition of the bestselling true story of the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, told with heart-rending honesty by Holly's father Kevin. Some tragedies become part of our national history. On August 4, 2002 Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman disappeared. For the next thirteen days their families, the police, and the local community searched for them, while the nation watched in horrific suspense. Almost two weeks after Holly and Jessica went missing, their bodies were found. Two days later Ian Huntley was charged with their murders. In the terrible weeks that followed Kevin started to make notes, fearful that he might forget important details. GOODBYE, DEAREST HOLLY tells the story of the nightmare that began on August 4th, from the moment it became clear that Holly and Jessica were missing, through the long investigation and its aftermath. An unflinching tale of surviving tragedy, Kevin's diaries tell of battles with the media, police bureaucracy and the legal system. The book also includes a gripping account of the trial and convictions of Huntley and Maxine Carr. Above all, GOODBYE, DEAREST HOLLY is a loving act of fatherhood.

 Emotive, fitting and insightful

| | See all PhantomTCL's reviews (1)

I have read about many true life tragedies, but this one was emotive, real and addictive.
Its a horror, no one should have to go through what Kevin and his family, friends and the Chapmans went through.
Usually these kind of true life stories focus all too much on the murderer - not the family of the victim.
This book takes you through it all - deepest darkest moments, light hearted black humour, the "system" that is the English CPS and the all too soft approach that could taint potential prosecution of offenders.
Well done to Kevin, I feel like I know him after reading this. I hope that 10 years on he has rebuilt some of his life after what happened.

 Sad, personal and honest

Oh, this book is so sad...but I could not put it down.Written like a diary, I felt like I was in the room with the family, living through and experiencing first hand,the horrifying, shocking truth of what has happened to their darling daughter.It also gives an amazing insight into police procedures and the British Legal system not to mention how much of a help and a hindrance the media can be. I have nothing but respect for the Wells family after reading this - Kevin comes across as a loving dad and a thoroughly decent man. Highly recommend you read this book.

 A touching tribute by a father to his daughter.

This is a wonderfully touching tribute to Holly Wells from her father Kevin. Kevin's book is written almost like a diary & you live each day that Kevin, Nicola & their son Oliver had to endure after Holly was cruelly taken away from them.
You can feel the love the family felt for Holly which is what I believe Kevin intended.
I highly recommend this book.
