Killing for Company: The Case of Dennis Nilsen by Brian Masters
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free audiobook of this in exchange for an honest review.
This is a bit of a weird one to rate and review but I’ve given it 4 stars to reflect my appreciation of the research done in creating this book.
If you watched the ITV programme ‘Des’ and, like me, were intrigued by Nilsen’s actions and personality, this book is definitely for you. I listened to the audiobook and loved that the narrator was the actor who played the author in the tv programme!
There is a lot of analysis of Nilsen’s actions and some gory details, so if that isn’t for you, please don’t read this book. It does, however, show a really interesting insight into Nilsen as a person, and we learn a lot more about his life than you see in the programme.
Masters is clearly a very academic and intelligent author, and I can imagine reading this book physically would be quite difficult due to the lengthy words and sentences Masters uses. But the audiobook completely removed this difficulty.
If you’re interested in true crime, this is a very interesting read.
