Pure Evil Inside the Minds and Crimes of Britain’s Worst Criminals by Geoffrey Wansell

Summary

Pure Evil takes a close look at the country's deadliest criminals, from those who horrified the nation to those less famous but equally brutal; they are all serving life sentences behind bars, but what made them do it?

Delving deeper into the stories of lifers such as Jeremy Bamber, Joanna Dennehy and Ian Huntley, Pure Evil asks whether they are just that...or something more complex.

In this shocking, chilling and powerful book Geoffrey Wansell exposes killers' motivations and remorse, but also seeks out an answer to the vital question: should life always mean life?

Have you watched White House Farm on ITV when goes in depth of the murders that occurred?


James Tidd | 230 comments I haven't watched that, would like to. I did watch the one on the Black Panther. I was surprised that he wasn't mentioned in the book, considering he murdered Lesley Whittle and I think three others, though his sentence I don't think was whole life.

I haven't watched Black Panther but I will certainly add it to my list.
