Though the region no longer exists, the former Acadian communities are still suspicious of the authorities and consider themselves a distinct nation. While the Acadia chapter is illuminating, the level of detail with which Cameron attends to every aspect of the case can be detrimental to the narrative’s momentum.

Though marketed as a true crime thriller, Blood In The Water is distinctly anti- sensational. There is a moral aspect to the writing, a didactic intention that explains the exhaustive, occasionally tedious, detail.

While the book is unlikely to reach the cult status of In Cold Blood, of which its author Truman Capote suggested his method was to treat ‘a real event with fictional techniques’, Cameron has achieved his intention in producing a comprehensive, thoughtful examination of a case wherein ‘the root causes of the tragedy include a systematic failure of the legal system itself’.
