Killers Behind Bars: Britain's Deadliest Murderers Tell Their Stories by Kate Kray
5.0
This was such an interesting read, we always hear the accounts of the victims/victim's family but we don't often hear the stories from the culprits themselves.
As imaginable it is difficult for the families who have lost loved he's ones due to these people but it is exhilarating to hear the other side of the story. Well... Their story. Some admit what they have done, some still say they don't know what happened and some just plain and simply lie and say they didn't do it, it was someone else. The book contains the crimes of: John Straffen, Daniel Reece, James Dowsett, Harry Roberts, Linda Calvey, Colin Richards, Charlie Smith, Avril Gregory, Richard John Dennick and finally Sue Butterworth.
I enjoyed the honesty and I love the way Kate Kray captured the stories of each assailant. I like how she explained each case thoroughly, what the person did and also what it was like meeting them. She met some of the criminals through her husband Ronnie Kray and her brother in law Reggie Kray.
The book itself is well layed out, nicely written and an overall such a great read.
