Informative and Well Written Book about the Murders committed by Frederick West and his wife Rosemary. Between the late 1960s and the late 1980s Frederick Walter Stephen West of Gloucester, I'M committed 12 (possibly more) murders and wasn't caught and apprehended until a Detective who refused to give up on finding West's daughter convinced her bosses to get a warrant to excavate the garden at the West's family home at 25 Cromwell Street. They discovered that Heather West, 17 had been murdered, dismembered and then buried in the garden and that her awful death was the top of a huge iceberg. Before his arrest Fred West murdered his 17 year old daughter daughter Heather, in 1987, his 8 year old stepdaughter Charmaine, in 1971, his first wife Catherine Costello West, nicknamed Rena, in 1971, 2 of his lovers who were heavily pregnant with his babies, 18 year old Ann McFall, in 1967, and 18 year old Shirley Robinson, in 1978 and 7 young women who he had either met through his posters or he had met when he picked them up while they were hitchhiking. His wife, Rosemary West claimed to have not known what her husband was up to, but several of the women who had survived being sexually assaulted by the couple described Mrs. West as a full and enthusiastic participant in the rapes. Further investigation showed that Fred West was incarcerated when Charmaine West was murdered and that she was most likely killed by Rosemary West and buried by Fred West. Fred West would hang himself in his jail cell before he could be convicted but after her trial Rosemary West was convicted of ten murders and is one of only 3 women in the UK to be given a whole life sentence
