Product Information

Complete with never-before-seen photos taken by Ian Brady, Cook’s story takes us through the childhood of Ian and Myra, their infamous relationship, and the emotional police investigation. It's really hard to know what to say when it comes to reviewing books like this, however this was such a good read, so well written and thought of. I normally rate the books I review, but on this occasion I won’t – I feel it’s disrespectful to the victims and their families.

I was probably too young to have read this book when I did (early teens), but then I don't think you could ever prepare yourself to read a book like this. This was such a sad story and for the 5 victims I can’t help but feel so much anger towards these two murderers. The book ends rather abruptly with a very quick summary of the trial, but the author is planning a second book to explore the story of the trial as well as the subsequent lives of the killers. The couple would bury some of the victims on the Moors and then often go back to the grave site to visit and try to relive the killings.

I hesitate to say I really enjoyed this book because any book about the Moors Murders is extremely difficult reading. However, the public still have many questions about who they were and how their dysfunctional relationship operated.I know quite a bit about this case, so to speak, but I was still intrigued and wanted to see if this book would give me a different account of what happened, or delve deeper into the court proceedings or something else novel.
