Critics Review
-
‘First-class: an objective examination of all the available evidence, much of the later content put together for the first time. It’s an enlightened assessment of what propelled Brady and Hindley to commit their crimes, but also what has propelled them into the notoriety they still enjoy. I read it with great interest and fascination’ -Jean Ritchie, author of Myra Hindley: Inside the Mind of a Murderess
-
'An exceptional book about evil and the extinguishing of innocence' - Irish Independent
