Sleeping with Psychopaths = A chilling study of the innocent lovers of savage murderers -
from Just Reads · host Ed Parnell
Bestselling writer and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee turns his attention to a new kind of victim: the wives or partners of serial murderers who remained unaware of exactly who they had fallen for until after their other half's arrest or, in some cases, conviction, for multiple murders.Sonia Sutcliffe first discovered that her husband, Peter, was leading a secret existence as 'the Yorkshire Ripper' only when he was arrested.The wife of the 'Hillside Strangler' only learned of her husband's crimes when state police smashed down her door in search of him.On finding out the truth, these innocents often experience a strange kind of guilt for not having recognised the killer in their home, as well as having to face the grim reality of betrayal and deceit.Not the best true crim ebook in terms of style of writing; plenty of facts, good research and a couple of interviews, just the bits where the author is trying to lighten the mood didn't work. For me. They might for you.BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/just-reads--6173738/support.Please click 'like' and Subcribe and all the good stuff.
