A sequel to the Moors Murders. If you find real crime an interesting topic then this is for you. I found sections of this book interesting. It is horrific what they did to those poor children and it still baffles me that poor Keith has never been found .

This book has a real quality of authority about it! The meticulous research shines through whilst leaving the content readable.

There can be few people around who don't know something of the crimes of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. This book focus is on the trial and the prison terms served by both. In some ways this reveals more about their distinct personalities than the crimes themselves. Myra comes across as a highly devious woman, whilst Brady's affection for his partner in crime, and his bitterness when this is no longer returned, is chilling.

The struggles of the families to find out what happened to their loved ones, made for tough reading. The fact that these other murders were only ever revealed due to the animosity between them, surely confirms that imprisoning them did nothing to improve their personalities.

A good factual book.

Okay! This book gave me the chills! Very informative and very exciting to read. This case is so gory, horrible but also fascinating! If you like true crime you will love this book!

With thanks to the author, publishers Pen & Sword, and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

This book focuses on the trial, conviction, and incarceration of the notorious Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. It details how they were treated in prison and how they both adapted and changed over the years, initially being supportive of each other but eventually cutting all ties. For years they still both continued to hold back facts relating to the location of the last two missing victims, and even now in death still continue to torment one of the families from beyond the grave.

Not always an easy read given the content, it is undoubtedly another meticulously researched work by the author, and a worthy follow-up to “The Moors Murderers”, the first in the series. Anyone wanting to know about the history of these horrific crimes need look no further than these two books.

This book and the previous one by Chris Cook are the DEFINITIVE books on the Moor Murderers. Full of interesting details and facts not divulged in any other books I have read on the murders. Fascinating and must reads for true crime fans. Highly recommended.

I am always interested to read true crime books, so I was really pleased when my request was granted! This book tells the story of the trial and conviction of the Moors Murderers, including parts related to their time in prison and how they were with other inmates. An interesting read for any true crime fans.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a true crime addict, I couldn't wait to read this book. I wasn't disappointed. Full of accurate information about this horrendous gruesome twosome.

True crime is always a hard one to review I hate to say I enjoyed reading a book like this but I did. It was a great continuation from the first book The Moors Murderers and I would definitely recommend both books if you are interested in true crime.

This book tells the story of the trial and conviction of two of the most evil killers in British history. It also tells what happened after the trial, their days in prison and how they desperately tried to shift the blame for their crimes.
Hindley’s sister and brother-in-law, Maureen and David also suffered because of Brady and Hindley. David witnessed them murder Edward Evans, but when he told the police the killers turned on him and implicated him leading to him being abused and attacked.
It’s a powerful insight into how Brady and Hindley coped with prison and continued to manipulate and torment from behind bars. Transcripts of letters and reports show that they both lied and deceived to make their time in prison easier. If you have an interest in true crime it’s definitely worth reading.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
Another well researched and interesting book about the Moors murders.
I’ve read and listened to a lot about this couple and the horrible crimes they committed. This one is accurate and full of information.

Thank you for advanced copy, this is the second in this series.

This focuses on Hindley around 1973 and her relationship with Brady and how that changed, it's shows her true character and how manipulation played a key role in her prison sentence.
Brady is shown in his true light aswell, again how he believed his power could be used to continue the torment of the families.

We also see unseen pictures of Hindley.

However you feel regarding Brady and Hindley, this is a further fascinating insight into their characters and also on the continuing search for Keith Bennett.

Highly recommended

This book has a lot of potential but it starts so off so strange. Also I believe this is a second book in a series which I didn’t know. If you have read the first I bet this would be good. I feel it has potential but I found it hard to get into.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a review. Not the most pleasing read , but these were not pleasant people. This book covers some of their horrific crimes and their trial. Great read for the true crime fans.

I received a free copy of, Convicting the Moors Murderers, by Chris Cook, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. There is a special place in hell for people like Ian and Myra. This book picks up with their trial, and prison years, til their deaths. Not a very pleasant read, about what these cruel murders did, and how they spent the rest of their lives.

I have read several books on the Moors Murderers and this still had something to offer. It was well researched and we]l written and also covered more of the events after the murders which was refreshing. The writer was able to give a balanced account and stick to the facts rather than adding opinion. It was also interesting to hear how the aftermath of the murders effected Myra's sister and mother and the back lash that they had from the community. I read this quickly and it kept me interested from the beginning till the end. I would recommend this to any lovers of true crime and it definitely stands up against some of the more well known publications.

A great true crime book. Has all the information in you could need. It's a great edition to any true crime fans bookcase

Even though I didn't have the opportunity to read the first book, it really didn't matter because the author did a great job summarizing it and I was able to delve right in. GREAT BOOK! I was so obsessed that I read it in a day - I just couldn't put it down. Great research, and laid out to make it so easy to read. Comes with pictures (love that!). Highly recommended for all True Crime fans! Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Another brilliant book by publisher Pen and Sword. As the title says it's a detailed documented trial and conviction of Moors Murderers - Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. Their heinous murders of five children shocked the nation in the 1960s.
The book is well-researched and well-written, mostly based on documents from Home Office. The involvement of other members of the family such as David Smith and Maureen Smith is mentioned. Highly recommended!!!

This is an excellent example of a true crime account, offering many details which are not widely known or included in other accounts of this case. The terrible injustice done to David Smith and the awful skill of both Hindley and Brady in manipulating so many people since committing their crimes is addressed in detail. The author has achieved something incredibly important in this book - a full exploration of what happened after the pair were convicted and how the case impacted lives over generations.
