A former United Church minister, Robert Killins, committed a horrific act of femicide by murdering every woman in his family, except for one. This tragic event occurred on May 2, 1963. The survivor, along with her brother, managed to escape and share the chilling details of what led to this act of violence. Cook and Carson, in their book, meticulously explore the underlying causes of this femicide, which resulted in the tragic loss of four women and two unborn babies. They contextualize this murderous rampage within the broader literature on domestic abuse and mass murders. Additionally, they delve into the resilience of the two traumatized child survivors, who found their way back to health and happiness. The book is presented through vivid first-person accounts, providing a deeply personal and introspective exploration of how a murderer was created.
