Story
Fred and Rose West are virtually unique in British criminal history: a husband and wife who loved and killed together. During their long relationship, the Wests murdered a series of young women, burying the remains of nine victims under their home at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, including those of their daughter. What was left of Fred West's eight-year-old stepdaughter was dug up from under the Wests' previous Gloucester home; his first wife and nanny were buried in open country.

Story
In 1955, former nightclub manageress Ruth Ellis shot dead her lover, David Blakely. Following a trial that lasted less than two days, she was found guilty and sentenced to death. She became the last woman to be hanged in Britain, and her execution is the most notorious of hangman Albert Pierrepoint's 'duties'. Despite Ruth's infamy, the story of her life has never been fully told. Often wilfully misinterpreted, the reality behind the headlines was buried by an avalanche of hearsay.

Story
Much has been written about the brutal crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, and - 35 years after he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of 13 women - scarcely a week goes by without some mention of him in the media. In any story featuring Sutcliffe, however, his victims are incidental, often reduced to a tableau of nameless faces. But each woman was much more than the manner of her death, and in Somebody’s Mother, Somebody’s Daughter, Carol Ann Lee tells, for the first time, the stories of those women who came into Sutcliffe’s murderous orbit.

Story
This is the shocking story of a doctor who was addicted to murder: a man who wickedly abused the trust of his patients with horrifying results. He was a pillar of the community: attentive, kind, never too busy to chat. Yet behind this charming facade lay the world's most prolific serial killer, with at least 200 victims. Small, bespectacled Dr Shipman was making house calls - and then committing murder with bloodcurdling expertise and professionalism. He saw himself as playing God.

Story
On 7 August 1985, Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter, Sheila, and her two young sons, Nicholas and Daniel, were discovered shot to death at White House Farm in Essex. The murder weapon was found on Sheila's body; a Bible lay at her side. All the windows and doors of the farmhouse were secure, and the Bambers' son, 24-year-old Jeremy, had alerted police after apparently receiving a phone call from his father, who told him Sheila had 'gone berserk' with the gun. It seemed a straightforward case of murder-suicide, but a dramatic turn of events was to disprove the police's theory.

There are few criminal cases more astonishing yet less well-known than that of Graham Young. A quintessentially British crime story, it involves two sensational trials, murders both certain and probable, a clutch of forgiving relatives, and scores of surviving victims. A Passion for Poison tells the absorbing life of master poisoner, Graham Young, who killed many 10s of people in a murderous career, which began as a 13 year-old schoolboy in a North-west London suburb, with the murder of his step-mother in 1960 before culminating in four further life sentences in 1971.

The reverberations from Fred West's crimes continue to this day. The story never dies. West was perhaps one of Britain's most evil, feared serial killers. His horrifying compulsion to kidnap, rape and torture his victims before murdering them showed a savagery and cruelty that can barely be believed. His 'House of Horrors' at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, became a burial ground for the women who fell into his hands. This new publication of Geoffrey Wansell's iconic, best-selling true-crime masterpiece comes 30 years after West was arrested, in 1992.

Story
Although it's hard to believe now, Rose West was an exceptionally beautiful little girl with long, glossy dark hair and big brown eyes. Looking at photos of young Rosie as a child, it is almost impossible to comprehend that she would grow up to become one of Britain's most notorious female murderers. But Rose's early life made her the perfect partner for Fred West, and the two committed a string of murders in Gloucester throughout the '70s and '80s. Her part in the killings is very different to that which many people believe even today.

Difficult to listen to in parts, but…
- By Georgina on 02-09-21
Summary
'Infamous, I have become disowned, but I am one of your own' - Myra Hindley, from her unpublished autobiography. On 15 November 2002, Myra Hindley, Britain's most notorious murderess, died in prison, one of the rare women whose crimes were deemed so indefensible that 'life' really did mean 'life'. But who was the woman behind the headlines? How could a seemingly normal girl grow up to commit such terrible acts? Her defenders claim she fell under Ian Brady's spell, but is this the truth? Was her insistence that she had changed, that she felt deep remorse and had reverted to the Catholicism of her childhood genuine or a calculating bid to win parole?
One of Your Own explores these questions and many others, drawing on a wide range of resources, including Hindley's own unseen writings, hundreds of recently released prison files, fresh interviews and extensive new research. Compellingly well written, this is the first in-depth study of Hindley and the challenging, definitive biography of Britain's 'most-hated woman'.
Critic reviews
"Scrupulously researched and clear-sighted… probably the most accurate account we have so far of how a 'perfect storm' of circumstances - psychological, moral and cultural - turned a damaged but sane young woman into the most notorious female killer of the twentieth century" (Mail on Sunday)
"Scrupulously unsensational… as good a biography of Hindley as we're likely to get" (Sunday Times)
"[A] fine book and may, indeed, be the definitive, straightforward take on a tragic, repugnant episode in the life of our post-war Britain" (The Herald)
"The most detailed, authoritative biography of Myra Hindley to date… offering a wealth of new detail" (Manchester Evening News)

Well researched. Terrible narration.
The book is a harrowing insight into the life, not just of Hindley, but Brady as well. It's well researched and very interesting.
The author details the futile appeals for parole and Hindley's so called rehabilitation as well as the horrific murders.
All in all a very informative book.
BUT.............
I have never heard such appalling narration! Poor old Maggie Mash seems to think that she has to try and speak in the native dialect of everyone who has been interviewed in the book. So when Hindley's words are being read, we get generic North of England accent. When Brady's words are being read we get Scottish accent with a slightly husky voice. There are some really bad accents on display. There is possibly the worst attempt at an Irish accent I've ever heard!
Unfortunately this, for me at least, detracted terribly from the events in the book lending it an unwitting air of comedy. What on earth possessed the narrator to think this was a good idea is beyond me. It seemed to belittle the very serious and, at times, upsetting subject matter.

Certain flaws
It's certainly a well-researched account and could even be said to suffer from an excess of information. Quotes pepper the text to such a degree that 20 minutes can go by without a full sentence from the author being read. A page of information could have been summarised in a paragraph without any loss of accuracy. That being said it's clear that the background information has been meticulously collected and is presented in a logical narrative.
This brings us to the narration. It appears to suffer from the same striving for authentic detail as the text and as such the narrator attempts to characterise each individual with the appropriate vocal characteristics. Unfortunately she lacks the ability to do this. Every male character speaks with gruff, sinister undertones in the manner of an untrustworthy cartoon dog and the accents are quite unaccountable. One character, Dave, has a stammer which astonishingly the narrator attempts to replicate for all Dave's quotations, some of which span many pages. The result is that the canine growling is delivered in a sort of staccato regurgitation reminiscent of a concussed Dalek. The result is so infuriating it's almost impossible to bear.

Terrible accents
How could the performance have been better?
It's an excellent book but why did the narrator feel she had to do *every* accent mentioned in passing? Russian, French, American and some awful Mancunian ones.
There was no need to assume accents when reading the transcript of the killing of Lesley Anne Downes. A bit tasteless really.

Harrowing
This is by no means a comfortable read- some of the details, particularly the transcript of the tape of Leslie Ann Downey's suffering, may give sleepless nights. However, the author stays true to her stated aim of giving the victims and their families a strong presence in the narrative and the book is really touching in parts for this reason. Hindley and Brady come across as truly revolting and the author manages to write about them as multi dimensional without ever excusing or justifying their crimes. It works pretty well as social history too though not intrusively. Quotes from the writings of the child killers musings and writings actually made me laugh out loud a couple of times- what a pair of pretentious, faux intellectuals they were- Hindley being offended by Brady's comparison of her prose style to Barbara Cartland is a gem. Narration is excellent- never too ponderous which would have made listening too harrowing...though I could have done without the cod Jamaican accent attributed to the sole black character. Recommended.

Can anyone ever know the truth?
What did you like most about One of Your Own?
I liked the attention to detail, even at the start it clearly states that it endeavoured to be an accurate account. I liked how it presented Myra, good and bad.
What about Maggie Mash’s performance did you like?
I think having her do the voices helped to bring the characters alive.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The story was very compelling and I wanted to know what exactly would happen next. I did listen to this for sometimes more than an hour at a time, but at 18+ hours in one go, I don't think so.
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this book, it brought to my attention many facts about the cases that I was not previously aware. I thought it gave a reasonably balanced view of Myra, declaring her neither a beast, nor a feeble woman who was under the spell of a man.
I would recommend this to anyone with a strong stomach, as some of the descriptions of the assaults on the children are quite explicit- There is one section where the narrator reads, in character, a transcript of a tape, made by Myra and Ian during the assault of a victim; this was quite harrowing.

Compelling but disturbing
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if they were interested in the Moors murder and knew something about it. Plus Myra Hindley's character becomes much clearer as the book progresses. I always thought she must have been vile to commit the crimes she did, but thought that Brady was probably the real villain. I am not so sure now, since her manipulation of so many people (some of whom, one cannot help thinking, should have know better - i.e. Lord Longford and David Astor) showed her for the heartless and self-absorbed creature that she was, without a shred of pity or compassion. Worse, she obviously expected everyone to feel as sorry for her as she was for herself over her prison incarceration.
What was one of the most memorable moments of One of Your Own?
Difficult to say, but was pretty relieved when she died in prison!
Would you be willing to try another one of Maggie Mash’s performances?
Absolutely not. I read other reviews complaining about terrible narration and to begin with I didn't think it was too bad. By half way through the book I had to grit my teeth each time I realised we were about to have another sortie into yet one more dreadful voice and accent.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me very angry. I am about the same age as Myra Hindley so lived through the horror everyone felt at the time when they were caught. However, as I said earlier, I was prepared to allow that she was so taken up with Brady she lost all sight of reality. I now feel, after having heard the book, that she was every bit as evil as she was made out to be. A thoroughly nasty piece of work.
Any additional comments?
I think I would probably have preferred to read the book as it seems exceedingly well-written. The narration detracts from it.

A worth while listen!
Such a sad topic but well worth the listen. Very informative and wonderfully narrated. My views on Myra have remained the same! An evil woman who knew exactly what she was doing. It was good to have a true insight into that woman and hear first hand witness accounts etc. I hope one day they find the missing boy Keith, Myra, I think did know where he was buried. An evil Woman right to the end!!!!

Well researched.
This is probably the best book I have read on this subject. I changed some of my opinions about Myra Hindley too which I did not expect.
The narration was a bit hit and miss - her ordinary voice was great but the accents were sometimes awful and her depiction of David Smith downright irritating. It’s a shame as it took some of the enjoyment out of the book for me.

Factual Account
This book provides a factual account of the life of Myra Hindley. It doesn’t sensational or trivialise her crimes. As a student of criminology it leaves the listener to decide if she was ever remorseful.
