4.0 out of 5 stars Unique Insight Into The Mind Of A Serial Murderer, December 9, 2004

This review is from: Brady and Hindley: Genesis of the Moors Murders (Paperback)

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley; two of the most hated names in British history. Brady was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of two children and a sixteen year old boy. Hindley, convicted on two counts of murder, was also sent to prison for life.

"Brady & Hindley : Genesis of the Moors Murders" draws heavily on a unique series of interviews with Brady, the first such interviews ever given to an author by a mass murderer in his cell.

Brady's claim that Myra Hindley assisted in the killing of sixteen-year-old Pauline Reade and that David Smith, the youth who led the police to the killers, was also involved, led the author into a thorough new investigation of the Moors Murders and their background.

Originally published in 1986, before Brady and Hindley confessed to killing Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett, this specially updated edition (published in 1987) includes extra material regarding these two murders.

This review is from: Brady and Hindley: Genesis of the Moors Murders (Paperback)

The author re-examines the Moors Murders based on a series of rare interviews with one of the killers. Raises all kinds of questions, sheds all kinds of new light on the situation, and made me want to know even more. Highly recommended.
