Story
Schapelle Corby walked out of Kerobokan Prison in 2014, leaving behind a dark hellhole of violence, corruption and squalor, and straight into a global media circus. She had been Hotel K's most famous inmate. Schapelle was a 27-year-old beauty-school student when, in 2004, Bali customs officers found 4.2 kilograms of marijuana in her boogie-board bag. She was convicted of a crime she still vehemently denies committing.

Tara Costigan was the woman next door. A hard worker. Quick to laugh and easy to like. She was happy, confident, strong. A woman who always looked after herself and her kids. Close with her family and her friends, she was much loved. Then, in 2013, she met Marcus Rappel. A local tradie, he was charming and sincere, they dated and fell in love.

This is the true story of Keith Banks, one of Queensland's most decorated police officers, and his journey into the drug scene as an undercover operative in the 1980s. In an era of corruption, often alone, with no backup, he and other undercover cops quickly learned to blend into the drug scene, smoking dope and drinking with targets, buying drugs and having dealers arrested. Very quickly, the lines were blurred between his identity as a police officer and the life he pretended to be part of.

absolute rubbish!
- By Anonymous User on 07-10-2019
Publisher's Summary
The gritty prison memoir of Michaella McCollum, one half of the infamous 'Peru Two', imprisoned in a Peruvian jail for attempting to smuggle 11kg of cocaine from Peru to Madrid in August 2013.
She was just a regular girl, spending the summer working at a bar in Ibiza, until she was approached by a man who asked her if she'd like to make some quick, easy money...and it would change her life forever. This is the truth of her time in prison, told through her own diaries and letters to her mother, family and friends, recounting tales of vicious guards, psychotic inmates and horrendous prison conditions.
A brilliantly affecting tale of a naïve young girl who starts out in the Ibiza party scene and comes of age in the dark heart of Peru, before finally emerging into the sun a stronger, more confident, mature young woman.

Better out there!
Given the topic this should have been better than it is. The story starts off well however quickly becomes a constant plea for sympathy which is very irritating. The author is constantly blaming everyone else for her predicament and so full of self entitlement it takes any enjoyment away from what could have been a good listen. AVOID there’s much better out there

Boring...Self Pitying...AVOID !
Ok...let me start by saying that had I purchased this title full price, or wasted a credit on it..I would have been getting a refund, but as it was only £3...i'll accept the loss. Other than killing a few hours of boredom during Covid lockdown, there is nothing good to say about this book ! When you are dumb enough to try to smuggle Kilos of class A drugs internationaly to South America, don't whinge when you get caught and jailed ! It is just a pity that the author wasn't made to serve her entire sentence....for stupidity ! So...in my opinion, there are far better prison memoirs out there...dont waste your time or cash on this self- pitying rubbish. And not knowing where Peru was.......oh dear ! The only plus is that narrator did her best with what she had had to work with.

Interesting Listen
Interesting listen, it's always horrible to hear how people are treated in some foreign prisons and what they have to do to survive. However the only sympathy I had was for the family of Michaella and not Michaella herself and I found on occasions throughout the book, the way it was told or come across was that I was listening to the story of an innocent person who had been wrongly imprisoned, not that of a guilty person who knowingly smuggled drugs. There is only so much you can pity yourself In a situation you put yourself in, knowing the risks and what could happen. #JUSTSAYNO #DONTDOTHECRIMEIFYOUCANTDOTHETIME 😉

Excellent!
I really enjoyed this account of this young woman’s experiences. It is well written, interesting and maintains a pace throughout. I don’t agree with with the reviewers who believe that Michaella comes across as arrogant. Perhaps the comment stems from little attention being given to remorse about her agreeing to transport drugs. She was very young (just 19) at the time of the crime. She certainly appears to have felt guilty at the effect on her family, her mother in particular.
