About this listen

What drives seemingly ordinary individuals to commit unimaginable acts of evil?

In the case of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, this question has haunted Britain for decades. Known as the Moors Murderers, this notorious pair lured, abducted, and ultimately murdered five innocent children, subjecting them to unspeakable horrors. Their actions, documented in photographs and recordings, have left a lasting scar on the national consciousness.

In The Moors Murders, Michael Attwell, presents a comprehensive examination of this chilling chapter in British history. With nearly fifty years of dedicated research, Attwell seeks to understand how the pair transformed into figures of unspeakable evil.

As Attwell revisits the timeline of the Moors Murders, he confronts the enduring question that has perplexed the public for decades:

Why did they do it?

The Moors Murders invites readers to reflect on the chilling realities of this case, encouraging a deeper understanding of the events and the individuals involved. It is a sobering reminder of the capacity for evil that can exist in the most unexpected places.

Critic Reviews

‘First-class: an objective examination of all the available evidence, much of the later content put together for the first time. It’s an enlightened assessment of what propelled Brady and Hindley to commit their crimes, but also what has propelled them into the notoriety they still enjoy. I read it with great interest and fascination’ —Jean Ritchie, author of Myra Hindley: Inside the Mind of a Murderess
