review 1: If you want to read the definitive account of the moor's murders then this perhaps the one that you should read. It appears that the author carried out extensive research to ensure that the book remains well-balanced. The chapters on Hindley's early life was very interesting as it investigates working class life during the 50s and 60s in Manchester, there is not much written on this topic. Overall a good read although extremely sad one.
review 2: This is not a comfortable read at all but having grown up through the 1980's and reading the sensationalist headlines almost every other day, I wanted to read an account of what actually happened, the testimonies of the families and to attempt to fathom why someone could do this. Also I wanted to understand whether... more it was possible for a woman like this to change or whether her campaign to be released and her self-proclaimed was simply a managed, cynical PR campaign. After reading the book, I felt it was the latter. What comes across is her lack of sympathy for the victim's families, they were someone to be suffered, to complain about, to accuse of not moving on! This is a well rearched book and probably the best account of the Moors murders. It is also pleasing to see that the families have had the opportunity to give their account and how this changed their lives. less
