A review by beccitrevett
Inside the mind of Rose West by Jeremy Daniel, Tanya Farber

challenging informative sad fast-paced

5.0

Rose West, Fred West, 25 Cromwell street, the house of horrors. Murders of children and young women spanning two decades. If you tell me you don't know what im talking about then I wont believe you. 

This book is a must read for all true crime fans. I literally could not put it down. We are talked through Rose and Fred's childhoods, how they met, how they brutally murdered their victims ( and yes there are gory details), we get to know more about the victims lives, we also hear about the conviction, trial and incarceration which includes a brief friendship with Mira Hindley, reading that just gave me chills. I have so many emotions reading this book, I felt sick, angry and terribly sad,  just the fact that they should have been stopped many times over by authorities and the very people and institutions who have a duty of care for these victims and the West children. They were let down terribly and it just breaks my heart. 

There are non stop facts here, I thought I knew most of what there was to learn about these evil people and their victims but I was wrong.
