Paul B. Kidd is a Sydney author and radio broadcaster and a well know true crime author.
Review:
This book is in the Australian True Crime series by Five Mile Press and written by one of the most recognised authorities on Australia’s worst criminals and serial killers. If you are interested in true crime books then this one will appeal to you. It is written with a great deal of research and depth, apparent by the explicit details of the crimes, criminals and victims.
The theme for this book is murders committed by married men and women. While most of the murders covered appear to be by men, there are some horrific cases of husbands killed by an angry spouse.
It is amazing how a person can become involved with someone and then decide that they then want to kill then, and this book goes into some of the details of the causes behind these twisted minds.
