"Killer: The Most Barbaric Murderers of Our Times" is a new book by Nigel Cawthorne. It is a compilation of exactly what the title implies; the most barbaric murderers of modern times.
The book is not for the faint of heart but it is still a good book. Each chapter chronicles the life of a famous killer. Amongst these include The Boston Strangler and The Yorkshire Ripper. The author was excellent at keeping your attention. It is not written like a biography but as a suspense thriller which makes it a real page-turner.
My personal favorite chapter is chapter 1: Natural Born Killers. It was written like a suspense thriller and not like a biography.
The only downfall to this book was that some of the chapters were far too short and didn't give the reader a feel of the event.
