Moors Murders

I have been re reading a book about the Moors murders, by Emlyn Williams. It came out many years ago, fairly soon after the couple were tried and imprisoned. Williams wrote in novelistic fashion, rather than documentary and he has been criticised for this. But much of what he wrote seems to be correct, and he interviewed many people who were involved with Brady and Hindley. He got to know David Smith, who was Myra's brother in law and who betrayed the couple to the police. Hindley and Brady killed 5 children and teenagers, but Brady lured Smith to his house to help with the murder of the last victim, and David Smith while he helped to clean up after the murder, went to the police. He was a tough lad who had been in trouble often with the law, but the barbaric killing horrified him. In spite of the style it is an interesting book
