Fascinating look into the mind of a killer. Its something the author explores in great detail which is what I liked about this book. We struggle to understand what is going on in her head and why she would crave the need to be around death and commit such a gruesome act as to skin and decapitate a body of a man she claims to have loved...totally alien to most of us who are not mentally disturbed. That is why this book grabs us with a morbid curiosity into something so horrific our naturalThis book was frightening for many reasons and to think it all took place in a little country town in Australia. Its a reminder that we are not immune here and crimes of a horrendous nature do occur. What should a killer look like? Well after reading this you are reminded that they come in all forms.
Ew. Not a book for the faint-hearted. But the author mercifully does not dwell too much on the physical injuries of the victim; rather, he tries to unravel what led the perpetrator to do what she did. He uncovers a sad background of domestic violence, cultural and emotional impoverishment. The mental health aspects are examined with dry detachment. Overall it's a fascinating insight into an awful event.Fortunately I was just a spectator through the book. I feel sad for the victim's children,
This is a total, comprehensive look at the life and crime of Katherine Knight. Dubbed Australia's worst female killer, Peter Lalor absolutely delivers the story in a way that keeps the reader intrigued, although not quite at the edge of their seat. This is, after all, a true crime work and not a thriller.Blood Stain is about the gruesome murder of John Price at the hands, and knives, of Katherine Knight. It starts off with a bang... well, stabbing, skinning, beheading really. We are given the
Not very well written, but very interesting backstory on a HORRIFIC crime.
The story of Katherine Knight and John Price is absolutely horrific. It is hard to comprehend the making of someone who is able to impose such harm on another human being. The up bringing and experience people have at a young age certainly how a huge impact on a persons personality, emotions and relationships. Its scary to think about the extremes of this. As I work in mental health it was certainly and eye opener to these extremes, thankfully not something Ive encountered to this extent (or
One of the most intriguing and fascinating crimes I have ever read about. Sure it is gruesome, but to think that your ordinary looking lady next door whom you may be forgiven to mistake as your local librarian could do such horrible things is extremely frightening and beyond comprehension. Makes you think twice about all butchers and abattoir workers after reading this.
