Had to get used to the way she wrote this book — 2 years ago
The Moors Murders are the most brutal, senseless and cold blooded killings to have occurred in Great Britain in many years. Between November 1963 and October 1965, Ian Brady, clerk, and Myra Hindley, typist, killed at least three-and possibly as many as five- young people varying in age from ten to seventeen, for no apparent motive. On May 6, 1966 the two murderers were sentenced to life imprisonment (capital punishment has been abolished in England). Beyond Belief, an uncanny feat of re-creation of the minds, hearts, and motivations of the two killers, is the story of this case. In it Emlyn Williams has achieved superbly his objective: “The dual accuracy of history and of imaginative understanding.
The way this book was written was very annoying to me at first.
English is not my mothers’ tongue, well it is, she is English, :-) but I was raised speakin Dutch only)
here is an example (The author must have fabricated all the dialogues between Ian and Myra.)
Ian: and if were caught which will not happen, ye must imagine yerself in an airport wi’ your luggage searched, it’s full of contra band, well ye,re just to sayye dinna ken a thing aboot it. I’ll teach ye a code,what a superbb evenin.
And this go’s on continually.
Besides that I did find it interesting because I did not know anything about the Moors Murderers and the author does provide some interesting information.
