Invisible Darkness: The Strange Case of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka by Stephen Williams

informative medium-paced

3.0

 This book covers the case of Paul and Karla (Homolka) Bernardo. Paul Bernardo was born in Ontario in 1964. His father was sexually abusing the children in the home, his mother had serious mental problems, and Paul eventually went on to develop some serious problems with sexual fantasies. Karla Homolka was born in Ontario in 1970. The pair married in 1991 and were divorced in 1994. During their marriage, Karla participated in many of the serial rapes and murders, including of her very own sister. She would later claim that she was an unwilling participant, due to domestic violence, but some evidence leads me to believe that was a cop out and a big fat lie. At any rate, this book covers the crimes and the legal proceedings against the pair.

This book is featured on The Last Podcast on the Left reading list if any of you happen to be interested in that or are still listeners of it. The book was decent and featured a good deal of information about both families, both culprits, and the victims. I can understand why this case, especially Karla's, created such outrage in Canada and throughout the world. It really was a wild story.
