Description
Book SynopsisA gripping read on the real story of Rose West who, together with her husband Fred West, became Britain''s biggest and most notorious murderers.
***As seen on the Channel 5 documentary Making a Monster***
Although it''s hard to believe now, Rose West was an exceptionally beautiful little girl with long, glossy dark hair and big brown eyes. Looking at photos of young Rosie as a child, it is almost impossible to comprehend that she would grow up to become one of Britain''s most notorious female murderers. But Rose''s early life made her the perfect partner for Fred West, and the two committed a string of murders in Gloucester throughout the seventies and eighties. Her part in the killings is very different to that which many people believe even today.
What happened to that little girl to make her capable of such violence? Or was there something wrong - a predisposition to cruelty - which she was born with?
Crime writer Jane Carter Woodr

If you read any book this year, you must read this one. * Alma Cullen, Scriptwriter, TV's Inspector Morse *
Unsparing, shocking, beautifully told story of a young boy who woke up to a nightmare. * Norman Hull, AVP Films *
Insightful, revealing and detailed, AFTER EVIL is a warm and human portrait of the collateral damage inflicted on a whole family hit by a serial killer. And it is ultimately a moving story of survival and how, against all odds, it is possible to go beyond tragedy. * Andrea Michell, Bravura Films *
