True Murder Cases included in this volume;

Peter Manuel: a career criminal who killed for kicks and profit, taking at least eight lives in a brutal two-year reign of terror.

George Joseph Smith: a truly heartless serial killer who preyed on lonely spinsters, killing them by an ingeniously original method.

As a twelve year old, I borrowed a book from the library that I thought was a vampire novel. It turned out to be the true story of British "vampire" serial killer, John Haigh (amazing the things they'll let a 12 year old check out!). Nonetheless, I was fascinated, and even though the librarian wouldn't let me take out any other books on the subject, I became a true crime junkie, burning my way through True Detective magazines by the dozen.

Forty years later, I feel as though I've investigated more cases of murder than most homicide detectives, studied more serial killers than your average profiler, and spent more time than a conference full of psychologists trying to understand what every true crime buff really wants to know; Why do they do it?

My books feature the cases that interest me most. I hope that you will find them equally fascinating.

I was hoping for more obscure criminals. But it was a fun, fast read. I'd recommend it to any true crime fan.

Unnatural Impulse for Murder and Mayhem

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2020

This first volume of the BRITISH MONSTERS series introduces the reader to (wo)man's cruelty to man. Despicable baby farmers leaving behind hundreds of guilty parents who thought they were doing the best for a child they couldn't temporarily care for. Long haul truck drivers made it possible to get away with murder because the various municipalities were not connecting the crimes. As did the murderers who used different killing methods, went after both men & women made catching them more difficult.

The greed of the baby farmers were matched by those who preyed on lonely heart women and medical monsters who wanted to make a profit from inhertences & life insurance cash ins. They didn't see innocent victims they saw dollar signs. There were poisoners, an arsonist, and old familiar murderous duos.

Some long standing myths surrounding notorious killers were debunked. There were botched kidnappings and murders during the course of burglaries. Vicious deaths from axes, knives, strangling, and blunt force objects since handguns aren't prevalent in the United Kingdom.

Maybe enjoyed is the wrong word, but I did find these fifteen vignettes of British Killers interesting, cringe worthy, and astounding that people could be so cruel to one another. And then the cowards didn't want to face the justice they finally had coming to them.

I recommend the entire series. I am currently reading Volume Four. I have also begun reading PURE EVIL & LIFE MEANS LIFE. The two authors reference back to the murderers in this series. So I don't feel lost reading the two books as I have a familiarity with the "pure evil" killers who often received a "Life" sentence.

I do like this author's style, and as a Brit myself I was pleased to find he'd done a series about British True Crime. There are plenty of cases here that I remember. He tells each case economically and straight-to-the-point, but without being soulless about it. Many familiar cases here, but also some more obscure ones. This series would be a particularly good starting-point if you're new to the whole world of True Crime.
