A Killer in the Family explores the darkest depths of the human psyche to tell the stories of the world's most depraved killers - and their families.
In these incredible accounts of violence, psychosis and love gone wrong, writer Amanda Howard raises the frightening question of whether a monster is born or made. In 20 gripping investigations, the twisted minds of notorious murderers are revealed, including Ted Bundy, a serial murderer of women, whose home life was a constant source of pain; Timothy McVeigh, the child-killing Oklahoma bomber, who was bullied at school; and Melinda Loveless, an abused teenager, who murdered a 12-year-old girl. These killers' pasts were often full of trauma and pain, which contributed to their love of violence. In other cases, their family members remain bewildered and devastated that their loved ones were capable of such atrocities.
A Killer in the Family gives a disturbing, fascinating insight into the minds of murderers, and the families in which they were raised.
