Evil Beyond Belief
Evil Beyond Belief | Wensley Clarkson
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Dr. Harold Shipman was a pillar of the community, serving on local committees, donating prizes to sports clubs, and organizing charity collections. His patients saw him as kind, attentive and never too busy to chat. Yet behind this charming facade lay a prolific serial killer with at least 300 suspected victims. Small, bespectacled Dr. Shipman was making house calls—and then committing murder with bloodcurdling expertise and professionalism. This book looks behind the man and reveals how Shipman continued to be a doting husband and father, trusted and liked by most of his patients. It looks at how he was able to get away with murder for so long and why he was driven by a lust for death.

Mehso-so

I picked a bad book to read when the world got very scary tbh.

This was engaging and readable but I wish it stuck closer to the historical facts of the Harold Shipman case rather than wondering what Shipman or his wife or victims were thinking all the time. A lot of what he said was just impossible to prove - if you‘re interested in Britain‘s most prolific serial killer it‘s a good read but more a novel than a history.

You hear noises and half wake up, then realise what it is. It makes you shudder
