À propos de cet audio
A brutal murder in a small Maritime fishing community raises urgent questions of right and wrong, and even the nature of good and evil, in this masterfully told true story.
In June 2013, three upstanding citizens of a small Cape Breton town cold-bloodedly murdered their neighbor, Phillip Boudreau, at sea. While out checking their lobster traps, two Landry cousins and skipper Dwayne Samson saw Boudreau in his boat, the Midnight Slider, about to vandalize their lobster traps. Like so many times before, Boudreau was about to cost them thousands of dollars out of their seasonal livelihood. One man took out a rifle and fired four shots at Boudreau and his boat. To finish the job, they rammed their own larger boat over the top of his speedboat. Boudreau's body was never found. Then they completed the day's fishing and went home to Petit de Grat on Isle Madame.
Boudreau was a Cape Breton original - an inventive small-time criminal who had terrorized and entertained Petit de Grat for two decades. He had been in prison for nearly half his adult life. He was funny and frightening, loathed, loved, and feared. One neighbor says he would "steal the beads off Christ's moccasins"—then give the booty away to someone in need. He would taunt his victims, and threaten them with arson if they reported him. He was accused of one attempted rape. Meanwhile the police and the Fisheries officers were frustrated, cowed, and hobbled by shrinking budgets. Boudreau seemed invincible, a miscreant who would plague the village forever.
Cameron, a resident of the area since 1971, argues that the Boudreau killing was a direct reaction to credible and dire threats that the authorities were powerless to neutralize. As many local people have said, if those fellows hadn't killed him, someone else would have. Like Say Nothing, The Perfect Storm, The Golden Spruce, and Into Thin Air, this book offers a dramatic narrative set in a unique, lovingly drawn setting, where a story about one small community has universal resonance. This is a story not about lobster, but about the grand themes of power and law, security and self-respect. It raises a disturbing question: Are there times when taking the law into your own hands is not only understandable but the responsible thing to do?

As news broke of a killer rampaging across the tiny community of Portapique, Nova Scotia, late on April 18, 2020, details were oddly hard to come by. Who was the killer? Why was he not apprehended? What were police doing? How many were dead? And why was the gunman still on the loose the next morning and killing again? The RCMP was largely silent then, and continued to obscure the actions of denturist Gabriel Wortman after an officer shot and killed him at a gas station during a chance encounter.

Everyone has secrets, and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She’s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. And so far, she’s been very successful. But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance 12 years ago of young Molly Forster. Some secrets should never see the light of day, and, as far as Rachel is concerned, whatever happened to little Molly is one of them.

HONOURABLE MENTION for the John Lyman Book Award in Canadian Naval and Maritime History

“Fascinating! Blood in the Water . . . provides deep insights into how communities work: how they succeed, [and] how they can fail. Must-read for all concerned about how humans manage to live together. Or not.” —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter
"An instant true crime classic." —Publishers' Weekly **starred review**
“Silver David Cameron knew intimately the Cape Breton community where the brutal murder of a local who was vandalizing lobster traps took place. But instead of that insider knowledge giving him too narrow a focus, it enables him to see beyond the broad strokes of the story—and so bring to life ideas about power, law, vigilantism and community.” —Toronto Star

Little murder, little history
Enjoyed the story as a new blue noser. Author told the story in detail while adding some history of Cape Breton. Narrator did a really great job of different voices.

The Best
I live at the other end of the province, so maybe I am a bit biased to say that this has been the best audiobook I have listened to so far.
First, a lot in an audiobook rides on the narrator, and they could not have chosen a better match for this book. It sounds like you are in the home of one of the locals, and he is telling you this story over an evening of drinks around the kitchen table. It truly brings you that up close and personal feel. I honestly can't say enough about his performance.
The story itself is written just as well. It is really well documented, since the author was a local himself and attended the trials in person. It is quite a tale and I think anyone (especially those in a small town) could relate in one way or another to the situation that was presented in this village.
A wonderful listen, and my favourite so far.

Excellent Perspective
I have to say I was was sceptical to read one person’s perspective on this incredibly complex story. But I am thoroughly impressed on how SDC told these stories. Stories of who we are as people, why people are the way they are what likely went down on that day. This was not about lobster. It was about so much more and SDC does an incredible job of telling the story and the contributing factors and stories that make this situation so complex.

A compelling and human look behinds sensationalistic headline-making event
This story did a wonderful job of explaining the historical context that forms the deep feel of this community.
A well-needed sensitive and balanced examination of the human experience and interactions that run up against formal systems of law and how they’re not always compatible. Making an easy “good guy vs bad guy” trope impossible, as it often is.
Narration was especially great. The use of language was so integral to the story that the proper use of accents, slang and dialects completely enhanced the story.

Interesting case
Interesting story and legal case, really quite tragic. It paints a picture of a lot that is wrong in our justice system. This small town was unsettled and ultimately traumatized whenever this man wasn’t in prison. The end result was inexcusable, yet perhaps…. inevitable? No, not inevitable, but how else could this have unfolded? I did enjoy the Nova Scotia and Cape Breton culture. Canadians should read this.

Great Insight
Being from the area and knowing all involved somewhat, it’s a great book and well written. I only wish the Narrative was done by someone local with our own accent. A lot of the names and places were mispronounced and in more of a French accent from France or Quebec than an Acadian one.
