Red river girlby Joanna Jolly“This is a well-researched, moving account of Tina’s disappearance, the finding of her body on August 17, 2014 and the building of the case by Winnipeg Police Officer John O’Donovan against Raymond Cormier. In-depth background information is given on all of the key people connected with the case. The reader is also presented with facts about other missing and murdered Indigenous women. The author does a brilliant job of bringing the plight of these women and their relatives to light. While this may be a challenging read because of the powerful and emotional subject matter, it is an eye-opening page turner.” -- Andree
