My Brother the Killer: A Family Story by Alix Sharkey

4.0

A fascinating, comprehensive and very honest account of a deeply harrowing loss.
This is a case only really in the periphery of my knowledge, which also feels like a tragedy as the young girl was abducted, presumed murdered but has never actually been found.
I loved how the author takes us back to the start of their life to examine important questions of nature vs nurture and examines the complex early life situations can form behaviours and shape future events.
The level of detail is excellent and this provides a really candid insight, which makes it feel very humbling to be allowed such candid access to such an emotive subject. I enjoyed this thank you.
