Jack Rosewood puts much effort into the research of the individuals in his books and delves into the studies conducted as to why the serial killer may have become the murderer he is. As I listened to the gruesome details, it is hard to fathom such individuals live among us, and what a great day each of us has had when we have had the great fortune of not having crossed any of their paths or entered into any of their conniving webs as we go about our daily lives. ( ) Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. There are many unsupported assumption in this bookThe assumptions may be correct, John Christie certainly is described as a misogynist sociopath. Most of his mental and health issues appear to be psychosomatic. he is finally convicted of murder after killing his wife. The author reports that he also killed a woman and her child that lived in an upper flat in the same building. Her mentally handicapped husband was convicted and sentenced to death for the killings. Several prostitutes were lured to their deaths when Christie offered to perform illegal abortions. I had never heard of John Christie before reading the summary. It read more like a term paper than a biography. I received this book free from the author. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

John Christie was a man with many secrets, and his flat at 10 Rillington Place in London would become known as one of the original houses of horror. Former soldier, Special Constable, and husband, John was to become regarded as one of the worst British Serial killers to date, and one that left a lot more questions than answers following his execution. Nobody ever suspected that this quiet man would have a dark double life, with a penchant for prostitutes and sexual perversion. He took advantage of the post-war times, the desperate women without husbands and their need to be rid of unwanted pregnancies as a result of prostitution and lack of contraception. Christie claimed he could perform abortions, and this led some women right to his lair, where they would be gassed and raped while they died. The official number of deaths associated with this London serial killer was eight, but it is believed there were most likely many more. This true crime story is filled with unanswered questions and controversy, as Christie's actions led an innocent man to his death at the gallows. This would later bring about changes to the British legal system surrounding capital punishment, but for Timothy Evans it was far too late. This serial killer biography will intrigue you, disgust you and make you question how the police and legal system could get things so wrong. The fact that unlike many other historical serial killers Christie hid the bodies of his victims in his house and his backyard makes him one of the most disturbing perpetrators of true crime murder in history.
