Scott Guy was a good man, a great dad, a salt-of-the-earth farmer who was gunned down at his front gate for no conceivable reason.His death enthralled us, partly because it was so inexplicable, but also because there were no obvious suspects. When police finally arrested someone, public fascination soared - because the person they claimed killed Scott Guy was his brother-in-law, colleague and former mate, Ewen Macdonald.While on the surface a hardworking husband and father of four, it gradually emerged Macdonald had an alter-ego and alternative life of violence and retribution. The police case against him seemed so logical: Ewen Macdonald was aggrieved, anxious and angry - and secretly hated the person who'd been best man at his wedding, Scott Guy. So Macdonald meticulously planned to get rid of Scott and shot him as he headed to work.But despite enormous media coverage, the reality is that most of us still know very little about the case. To understand what really happened and why it happened, you need to set aside what you think you know and start over again, from the beginning, from that first dark midwinter morning.Who Killed Scott Guy? takes you inside the investigation, into the courtroom and tells the real story behind Ewen Macdonald's defence, led by Greg King. By the end you'll know everything the jury did - and much more.

Fascinating account, too one-sided in favour of Macdonald being innocent By Joan Burley Those of us living in New Zealand have been bombarded with newspaper articles about the murder of this young farmer. Mike White, a reporter for North and South magazine, gives a gripping and detailed account, but in the end no one can answer the question in the title, and he doesn't either. What he does do is excuse the behaviour of Ewen Macdonald, and make this cold blooded creature who battered young calves to death with a hammer, and who can lie convincingly to the police, seem to be an innocent victim. Whether Macdonald was guilty or not, he has psychopathic tendencies and he is not a sweet, gentle victim of the police. A fascinating book, but too one- sided in favour of Macdonald.

Very interesting analysis By Amazon Customer As the blurb puts it "Scott Guy was a good man, a great dad, a salt-of-the-earth farmer who was gunned down at his front gate for no conceivable reason." "His death enthralled us, partly because it was so inexplicable, but also because there were no obvious suspects."It's embarrassing that when a book like this comes along, you realise that for a case that gripped the nation of New Zealand, there's been little or no information about it in these parts. And that's particularly disappointing when you think of the forensic detail thrown at us from other parts of the world - I mean New Zealand is our nearest neighbour and this is such a very sad story.Handled with great delicacy, Mike White has written an analysis of the case, the death of Scott Guy, his life and the charging and acquittal of his brother-in-law Ewen Macdonald. He also provides glimpses into the devastation of the lives of everyone around Guy and Macdonald, and the mess that both families are left trying to negotiate.It also provides a telling portrayal of a defence team - in particular the barrister Greg King who successfully defended Macdonald, and the particularly devastating outcome for him. Must admit, this reviewer found herself genuinely distressed at the fate of Mr King.The blurb for this book finished with the line "By the end you'll know everything the jury did - and much more." Alas there still has been no successful prosecution over the death of Scott Guy, and WHO KILLED SCOTT GUY? provides the reader with a very clear picture of how that must feel for everyone involved. Highly recommended if for no other reason than this is an extremely well written, well researched, well told story.

However it misses coverage of critical prosecution evidence. For example it has one line near the end about a farm future plan that has Scott mentioned but not MacDonald. It does not explain or expand on this key line of evidence. When did MacDonald see the plan? Who saw his reaction etc. We are told nothing about this, yet the farm inheritance is of critical importance.The book is heavily biased and the evidence pointing to guilt is given light treatment.The book even concludes MacDonald had "moved on" and felt "remorse" for burning down the house and then vandalising the new one, killing the calves with a hammer, dumping thousands in milk and burning down a treasured family hunting shed. It follows King's brilliant defence, making him "look" like a normal guy. There is no evidence that MacDonald feels remorse - he certainly never fessed up. Actually at the end of the book we have the same line where MacDonald hopes he can meet up with the Guy family and laugh over the old times. This shows he actually lacks an understanding of human emotion.The author also nitpicks the police work, primarily by arguing that it was risky and difficult to commit the crime in the time available. The risk of burning down a house and smashing another up metres from your own house didn't bother MacDonald. Nor did killing the neighbours calves. These hugely risky crimes don't phase the author. The murder - that was too risky - he'd be caught.Don't buy this book!
