In this controversial and seminal work of reportage, Gordon Burn reveals the strange inner dynamic of Fred and Rosemary West’s relationship. Based on meticulous research, this dark history is told in a powerful, compelling narrative.''One knew . . . that if a book of merit could be written about these crimes, Gordon Burn would be the man to do it.'' Spectator''Brilliant, bleak, unflinching.'' GuardianHappy Like Murderers is an account of two people who lived together, raised (and killed) children, provided sexual services for anyone interested, and pretended to provide social services for single women. Investigated and told by Gordon Burn, one of the greatest journalists and writers, this is the most powerful and upsetting true crime book you will ever read. With a new introduction by Benjamin Myers.
