It was an aweome book. Never knew how deep this Scarbourough rapist was but it sure opened my eyes. I have told many about this book I even lend it to anyone who would like to read it. This is one book that was hard to put down. I heard about this rapist but didn't know the whole story. This book told all the details.
The book is excellant and as a true crime fanatic it was recommended by others. The case caused such a stir in Canada in the early 90's that media coverage was almost banned to avoid and problems. This book is rare to find in the UK and was imported from the USA. This is available in paperback and hardcover copies and mine was the paperback version. The writing is a bit biased against Paul Barnardo and tries to give the Karla Homalka version as a battered wife doing all she can to keep her man happy or else she will get a beating more justice than is thought by the masses. Whilst this may be the case ( I am not an expert) the general opinion in Canada is that they were both will parties in the crime and theerfore should have both served the correct time for the crime. The book shows the travesty of justice in the Canadian and American law system in relation to plea bargaining. My copy whilst in reasonable condition and is readable was actually sold as good but the spine shows that it was well read so should really have been classed as fair. As I did not pay a great amount for it I accepted this. So if you are interested in true crime and to be honest you have a strong stomach as some of the text is a bit graphic this is the one for you.Read full review
