Summary

Here you’ll find many chilling true-life stories of what can happen when love goes wrong – from the mad scientist who chopped his wife into eighty pieces and flushed her down the loo, to the teenage Romeo with the murderous case of unrequited passion. Some of these crimes were driven by betrayal, jealousy, greed, revenge or sheer insanity. Some stemmed from spur-of-the-moment rages. Others were carefully planned, cold hearted-acts of violence. All show that sometimes a loved one can be the most lethal of all… Victoria Heywood’s previous book was Love Behind Bars in which she explored the hearts and minds of men and women who love someone who has ended up in jail. She is a Melbourne-based author and the author of 24 adult non-fiction books. Includes more than 20 stories of love gone horribly wrong. Featuring both historical and modern cases that prove the course of true love has never been easy – in fact, intimate homicides make up a quarter of all murders. What kind of person is capable of killing someone they love? Read this and you will see that it’s just about anyone. Features an 8pp pic section
