A review by keileyreadsbooks
Inside the mind of Rose West by Jeremy Daniel, Tanya Farber

5.0

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the case, the chronology of the book made it very easy to read and know the timeline of what happened. I did find this hard to read finding myself having to take many breaks to digest what I had read about the crimes committed. You could almost picture exactly what was endured during some of the descriptions, especially to the West children. This book really made you think about the failings of various agencies and how if more questions had been asked, so much tragedy could have been prevented perhaps. However, at the same time, it did really well to contextualise 1970s England, and how we can retrospectively be too critical on these agencies as they didn't have access to the technology that we do now, which can prevent us ever seeing something like this happening again.
