Summary
The reverberations from Fred West's crimes continue to this day. The story never dies.
West was perhaps one of Britain's most evil, feared serial killers. His horrifying compulsion to kidnap, rape and torture his victims before murdering them showed a savagery and cruelty that can barely be believed. His 'House of Horrors' at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, became a burial ground for the women who fell into his hands.
This new publication of Geoffrey Wansell's iconic, best-selling true-crime masterpiece comes 30 years after West was arrested, in 1992. Dead by suicide by 1994, he never truly faced justice for the 12 murders he was charged with.
Wansell, chosen as West's official biographer, gained exclusive access to all West's police interviews, prison diaries, papers, solicitor interviews—and his private collection of video tapes, as well as all the interviews given by his wife, Rose West.
Once and for all, he reveals the full story of Fred and Rose West's lives and crimes, in a chilling book that sets the standard for exploring the minds of our most feared serial killers—up close and personal.

Great performance from the narrator.

Real insight
Really feel for the wests bairns growing up in that environment and that they had their childhood stole. And just goes to show that these horrible people can get away with such horrible things for such along time. Really made me thoughtful for all the victims.

Excellent
I have read many books on the Wests. However, this book reveals a fascinating insight into their deprived and dangerous lives. Highly recommended.

Sick people with no heart and soul
Fred and rose were very sick people, if you can call them that. A few times I were disgusted by what I was hearing and thought you sick b’stards!

Insightful
This book is very insightful as to how a chain of dysfunction, toxic atmosphere, the lack of training in schools, social services and other authority bodies at the time can create a deadly combination that leads to the loss of so many lives. Even the lives of those who did not die at the hands of Fred and Rosemary West lost so much and their lives had been touched by evil. I don't often cry when listening to a book but hearing the suffering of their victims, especially the children was difficult to hear. I hope with all my heart their victims rest in peace now.
Not everyone is how they appear to be. The Wests had the skill of pulling people into their web of evil by putting up a front that was socially acceptable and even admired. The loving family helping others out. It's terrifying to think of how many vulnerable people fell into this trap and the majority because of a lack of love in their own lives.
Love and peace wished for all affected by this sad and evil time.

A harrowing listen
If you think you know the depths of the depravity of Fred and arose West, be prepared to be shocked even further by some of the harrowing detail contained in this book. It is at times a very difficult listen due to the level of detail behind the fate of each of their victims. Be prepared.
