Synopsis

Exclusive, firsthand accounts of the men and women who have slept with infamous killers in a book praised as "terrifying . . . true crime at its best" (Daily Express).

Bestselling true crime writer and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee turns his attention to a new kind of victim: the wives and partners of serial murderers who remained unaware of exactly who they had fallen for until after their other half's arrest or, in some cases, conviction. Only upon Peter's arrest did Sonia Sutcliffe first discover that her husband was leading a secret existence as the Yorkshire Ripper. The wife of the Hillside Strangler only learned of her husband's crimes when state police smashed down her door in search of him. When finding out the truth, these innocents have to face the grim reality of betrayal and deceit and often experience guilt for not having recognized the killer in their home. Christopher Berry-Dee speaks directly with killers and their oblivious loved ones to get inside the minds of the men and women who fall for murderers.

Contains mature themes.

To put it simply this is basically Clickbait: The Book. I, presumably along with many others, was drawn in by the tagline of this book: "The most evil people in the world tell their own stories". I'd like to see anybody try and defend that blatant baiting. In reality the book is a fairly generic look......more

Kiedy Christopher Berry-Dee nie pisze o swoim samouwielbieniu to okazuje się, że jego książki da się czytać. Jasne, że nie jest to "najwyższa półka", jeśli chodzi o gatunek, ale trudno mu odmówić dererminacji i researchu. Zastanawia mnie jednak tytuł serii "Rozmowy z...", bo to są teksty, które pows......more
