Bestselling author and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee delves into a novel realm of victims: the wives or partners of serial murderers who remained oblivious to their true identity until after their other half's arrest or, in some cases, conviction for multiple murders. Sonia Sutcliffe's story is a poignant illustration of this phenomenon. Only upon her husband's arrest did she discover that Peter was the notorious Yorkshire Ripper, leading a double life. Similarly, the wife of the Hillside Strangler only learned of her husband's crimes when state police stormed her door in pursuit of him. Upon uncovering the truth, these unsuspecting individuals confront a peculiar mix of guilt for failing to recognize the killer within their own home and the harsh reality of betrayal and deceit. In his insightful book, Christopher Berry-Dee engages in direct conversations with killers and their oblivious loved ones, offering a unique perspective into the minds of the men and women who fall for murderers.
