Call Me Cruel by Michael Duffy
4.0
The prosecutor who was asked to assess this case for prosecution said it was one of the most bizarre cases she had ever come across. It is bizarre and way it is told is compelling.
The victim, Kylie Labouchardiere, was a young, recently separated woman who was involved in an adulterous affair with Paul Wilkinson, who had worked with the NSW Police. She disappeared in April 2004 and her body has never been found. She was obviously a troubled and insecure young woman and she was manipulated by Wilkinson, who preyed on her vulnerability and naivety.
Wilkinson is one of the most interesting sociopaths I have read about. He told elaborate lies, implicating innocent people in horrible crimes and exploited those around him in the most cold and calculating way.
Murders are always tragic, however many are a tale told many times. This one is unique and makes for a great read. I stayed up late into the early hours of the morning finishing the book and I highly recommend it for fans of crime non-fiction and fiction.
