HAPPY LIKE MURDERERS The Story of Fred and Rose West.

Paperback. On February 26, 1994 the remains of Heather West were discovered in the garden of the house at 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester where she had lived with her 7 brothers and sisters, her mother Rosemary and her father Fred. Over the next days the remains of 8 other women were found buried, and 25 Cromwell Street became known as the 'House of Horror'. Fred West hanged himself in prison before the charges against him of child-rape, sexual abuse, torture and murder could be heard. On conviction, his wife became known as the most depraved woman on Earth. In this book, the author reveals for the first time the strange inner dynamic of the Wests' relationship throughout their long life together. Was Rosemary West a vicious, sadistic and insatiable bisexual, her husband's full partner in the lust murders of women and young girls? Or was she a physically and psychologically tormented obedience slave shaped by him and her own submissive dependence into something compliant and corrupt? 468pp. p/back.
