One of your own: the life and death of Myra Hindley. Carol Ann Lee. 2010.

On 15 November 2002, Myra Hindley died in prison, one of the rare women whose crimes were deemed so indefensible that ‘life’ really did mean ‘life’. Without a doubt Britain's most notorious murderess, her death has done nothing to dismiss the shadow she casts across our collective consciousness.

But who was the woman behind the headlines? How could a seemingly normal girl, with no intimations of violence in her character,  grow up to commit such terrible acts? Her defenders - many of them high-profile individuals- claim she fell under Ian Brady’s spell, but is this the truth? Was her insistence that she had changed, that she felt deep remorse and had reverted to the Catholicism of her childhood genuine or a calculating bid to win parole?
