Customer Reviews

This book is interesting. I mean luckily I'm a tough cookie.

Don't read if your soft hearted. Very graphic. Published in 1986, so it's dated. Could the writer get more digs in to David Smith? David had a harder childhood than Hindley and Brady. He was rough around the edges, but no child killer. He went through a lot with Myra's sister and the aftermath of those 2 freaks, not to mention they were teenagers.. I warn the rag they wanted to stuff in dear Lesley Anne Downey's mouth wasn't a rag, but Ian's private . I liked the photos, and it's fast pace, offered more information. Okay is you are into the case.

Unique Insight Into The Mind Of A Serial Murderer

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.
