This book is about 10 murderous/serial killer couples, some may be familiar to you if you are British & interested in true crime.
Some of the murderous, serial killer couples mentioned in this book are infamous, well-known for all the wrong reasons.
The victims should always be remembered and treated with respect.
For anyone that's American you might be more familiar with the American serial killers that are mentioned in this book.
There should be a trigger warning for graphic details about what the serial killer couples did to their victims, it can be disgusting & disturbing to read about, so you have been warned.
I think in my opinion that there are a lot of external & internal factors that help to shape, mould a person into who they become as a person from a young age, they are very easily influenced by their environment, how the are treated, especially in terms of the opinion, perception & attitude their family members have.
The nature versus nurture argument is valid and would apply to these serial killer/murderous couples, that have some deep psychological, mental, emotional issues that maybe the result of growing up in a abusive household.
Abuse is various types of abuse though, neglect, rejection, hatred of a child that's unwanted, unloved & discarded by one or both the parents is part of it as well.
I'm not saying that being abused excuses or justifies what any of the murderous, serial killer couples did that are mentioned in this book, that's not my intention at all, but it would explain at least why they are who they are as a person.
Not all serial killers were abused and not all people that were abused grow up to kill people, but there will be signs of psychopathy, sadism, cruelty, narcissism & violent behaviour that manifests at a young age.
I didn't expect a lot of the murderous couples in the book to be the type of serial killers that are predatory, sexual sadists, sexual narcissists that would target women & children.
The deviancy, sexual depravity, sexual sadism is sick and disturbing, none of the victims deserved what happened to them.
A lot of the serial killer couples in this book were sexually motivated, a sexual sadist, sadistic, cruel, predatory, sexually deviant, depraved, rapists, murderers, some are a necrophile and cannibal as well. A common theme in a serial killer's life is having a severe head injury, which may have cause, a skull fracture, brain damage, it affected their brain negatively, it totally changed their personality so they become more volatile, violent, angry, aggressive.
This was a difficult book to read, i'm not particularly interested in serial killers that lure, kidnap, torture, rape and murder children, it makes me feel physically sick.
True crime will always be interesting to me, i'm happy that more unsolved crimes, murders, suspicious deaths are being solved, with the advancement of technology, help from the general public & internet sleuths/armchair detectives online are helping to bring people to justice and conclusively solve crimes, murders, serial killer cases that were never solved.

Frederick & Rosemary West:
This murderous, incestuous couple are infamous as serial killers, for all the sick things they did to young, innocent, vulnerable women and children, which included some of their own children.
I have watch documentaries about the couple, and a tv series called Appropriate Adult, there are also numerous books about them as a couple and individual books about them as well.
It's sick and disturbing what they did to innocent people, especially to their own children.

Susan & James Carson:
This American serial killer couple were in a cult known as the “Witch Killer Cult” and they murdered three people that they believed were witches.
They are known as the “ San Francisco Witch KIllers”
They both heavily abused drugs, which lead to them developing psychosis
(they are out of touch with reality, delusional and hallucinating due to the hallucinogenic drugs they were taking frequently) convicted for three murders between 1981 and 1983 in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The murderous couple murdered three people during their drug-fuelled insanity.
They share a psychotic disorder also known as (Folie à Deux) they are both sadistic, psychotic murderers and they both have the same ideology, feed each others delusions, beliefs, fantasies, ideas.
James A.K.A Michael “Bear” Carson is the dominant, controlling, manipulative, coercive person in the relationship, while Susan A.K.A Suzan is the compliant, submissive, easier to control, manipulate, coerce, deceive, or abuse in various ways, but she is a willing participant to the crimes they committed, because she fully believed what she was doing was right or justified in her mind/mindset, or way of thining.
She was just as influential & manipulative to Michael in the same way he was to her.
It's unusual to have a nocturnal wedding, during a full moon, and at Stonehenge I've not heard of that type of wedding before, but I like the sound of a nocturnal wedding, it's a unique idea at least.
They were convicted of the murders they committed, but are suspected of more murders in Europe since they travelled to various countries, including England.
They are unrepentant serial killers/murderers.

Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka:
Serial rapists/serial killer Canadian couple, they aren't the only Canadian serial killers though, Robert Pickton is a prevalent serial killer, that murdered women and fed their corpses to his pigs on his farm.There would be no trae of evidence left, no body to find.
This couple of rapists/serial killers are particularly heinous, sexual sadists, sexual narcissists, and they committed disgusting crimes.
I will never understand why any woman would think that a person like Paul Bernardo was attractive, other than if they are a Hybristophile or suffer from folie à deux.
Paul Bernardo is Canadian rapist (he is known as the Scarborough rapist) in Ontario, Canada and a serial killer alongside his willing accomplice, partner in crime Karla Homolka who was his girlfriend, then wife she was a willing participant in documenting the rape, murder of women, which included Karla's sister Tammy due to Karla not being a virgin when she married Paul Bernardo.
This was always a major issue to Paul Bernardo, since it must of reminded him of his mother's infidelity with a ex, so he hated his mother for that, for also being told that he is/was a bastard child and who he thought was his real biological father wasn't his real father.
He hates women, hence why he was the Scarborough rapist of vulnerable, innocent women.
It absolutely disgusts me that Karla Homolka was given a lenient sentence, due to agreeing to a plea bargain, and pressing charges against Paul Bernardo, who was verbally/emotionally abusive, controlling, possessing, owning Karla and dominating every aspect of her life, or who she was a person. However she was a willing participant in the crimes they committed together.
It really disgusts me, that Karla Homolka was released from prison & allowed to live a normal life, to get married and have three children.
I already know who this disgusting couple, due to watching a documentary and reading a book about them.

Henry Lee Lucas & Ottis Toole:
American serial killers that worked together to lure their victims, and horrifically murder them.
Henry Lee Lucas was known for being a pathological, and boastful liar, he liked the attention, infamy, and the shocked public to know of the horrible things he did to his victims.
It's disgusting to m that police departments encouraged, or coerced Henry Lee Lucas to confess to crimes that were unsolved, that he didn't commit just so they could close the case with insufficient, inaccurate or false information they gained from a false, coerced confession.
It's unreliable, and he was just boasting for attention and to make it seem like he killed a lot more people than he did.
In my opinion the methodology of how the victims of serial killers were killed is just as important as the number of victims.
I don't always understand why the media only focuses on the number of victims of a serial killer & not on the methodology, modus operandi, or behaviour of the serial killer, their attitude, opinion, perception or viewpoint, worldview they had of the world, and people in society in general.

Cindy Hendy & David Parker Ray:
Known as the “The Toy box” American serial killer that was helped by his daughter who was known as Jesse Ray to kidnap, rape, torture and murder women.
He had a lifetime dream of creating his own modified, mobile torture chamber/sex dungeon that he called his “toy box” This is why he is known as the “toy box” killer.
He is infamous for recording a horrific message that was played for his captive female victims to hear, so they would now all the sexually sadistic, torture that they would subject their victims to.
He recorded/documented the torture of his victims, the videotapes were found by the FBI.
The fact there is even a possibility that David Parker Ray may have made snuff films, to sell and make a profit from, deeply disturbs me.
It's creepy how long David Parker Ray, was kidnapping, torturing, raping his victims for a long period of time, before he was caught due to one of his victims luckily escaping and reporting what he did to her to the police.

Carol Bundy & Doug Clark:
“The Sunset Strip Killers” They preyed on women specifically, Carol bundy was a willing participant and she helped Doug Clark commit sick, disturbing, horrific, peadophilic crimes.
Both were a sexual sadist and they were eager to enact the bizarre, disturbing and sick fantasies they had.

Monique Olivier & Michel Fourniret:
“The Ogre of the Ardennes” This disgusting murderous couple was unpleasant to read about and it is especially disgusting that Michel Fourniret had the disturbing moniker of “the virgin hunter”
His wife was just as cold-hearted, evil nd predatory as her husband.
It's disturbing that Monique used the fact that she was pregnant, to lure innocent women, or children to help her, due to be pregnant, this is very predatory, cunning and manipulative.
They are one of the worse, sick murderous couples to read about in this book, it makes me feel physically sick to read about predatory murderers, serial killers that are predatory, murderers of children, women animals.

Gwendolyn Graham & Catherine May Wood:
American serial killers that were nursing assistants & a murderous lesbian couple they were convicted of killing five elderly patients at the Alpine Manor nursing home.
The women worked in Walker, Michigan, which is a suburb of Grand Rapids, the 5 murders & 5 attempted murders occured in 1987.

Alton Coleman & Debra Brown:
Serial KIller couple that went on a killing spree. Alton Coleman, is a serial rapist, that ha violent, perverse fantasies that became increasing more perverse, violent overtime, until he couldn't control his sexual urges, sexual appetite and he enacted his disturbing sexual urges, fantasies onto his unsuspecting victims, that were lured, kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered.
The victims were women & children.
Debra Brown, was a simple person, due to suffering from a head injury that caused her to be mentally impaired, easy to coerce, due to being prone to manipulation.
Due to suffering dependent personality disorder, it made her very impressionable, easy to coerce, manipulate, pressure, control, abuse and to take advantage of her, especially due to her extreme attachment to other people.
I don't understand why someone who is mentally impaired like her would be a willing accomplice to Alton Coleman, she had no criminal conviction, history of violence, she wasn't abused but she was just as sadistic, deviant and perverse like Alton Coleman is.

Myra Hindley & Ian Brady:
In my opinion, this couple and Fred & Rosemary West are the worst, most sexually depraved, deviant, sadistic murderous/serial killer couple that are infamous and the most well-known.
The Moors murderers, they lured, kidnapped, tortured, sexually abused/raped children, took photographs and recorded sound to document what they did for their perverse, sick pleasure.
The photographs were their sick trophies.
Ian Brady was interested in Nazi ideology, he identified with their fascist, totalitarian, racist beliefs.
Myra Hindley's was just as sadistic, deviant and depraved asIan Brady, she was a willing participant, in the crimes they committed.
Her brother-in-law David Smith was unfortunately the witness to the horrific, disturbing murder of Edward Evans with a axe or hatchet.
There is a book about this horrible, disturbing incident, which was originally called Witness but the name of the book was changed to Evil Revelations.
They believed he was a like-minded person and confessed to him about their crimes, he was very disturbed, & understandably terrified by this and immediately went to the police.
It's very disturbing to me, that they recorded the torture, rape, murder of a little girl and people had to listen to this horrific recording in court and it traumatized people forever it's sick, and evil.
Sadly Keith Bennett's body hasn't been discovered.
Based on the way Ian Brady's behaviour is described he seems like he suffers thintermittant, explosive disorder, when a person, has very volatile, violent, outbursts of anger that they can't control. I'm glad of these sick, perverted, sexual deviants, serial killer couples were caught, convicted of their crimes and some have died i prison or committed suicide.
