This is a well written true crime book, but one of the most disturbing I've ever read - and I've read over a thousand true crime books.
This couple is so cold blooded, it's practically inconceivable - but all true.
The author has done his research and he presents unbiased facts.

Paul Bernardo started as a rapist and quickly progressed to murder, while encouraging the involvement of his dependent girlfriend/and later wife, Karla Homolka, to participate in these brutal attacks, all for the "thrill factor".
She even participated in the rape and murder of her younger sister, at Paul Bernardo's request - because Karla wanted to give Paul a virgin for his Christmas present.
That virgin was her younger sister, Tammy.

Again, the book itself is well written and filled with very graphic details.
IF true crime is your book of choice and IF you have a strong stomach, this is a very interesting case. Twisted and graphic - but interesting.

Just be forewarned...
