A New Kind of Monster: The Secret Life and Chilling… von Timothy Appleby
A New Kind of Monster is a chilling and meticulously researched account of one of Canada's most notorious criminals, Colonel Russell Williams, the high-ranking military officer whose heinous crimes shocked the nation. It’s a deep dive into his background, upbringing, military accolades, and the public façade he maintained while indulging his dark desires and the violence of a disturbed soul. Appleby does a great job of questioning power, privilege, and the ways in which individuals like Williams can manipulate and exploit their positions of authority. Through interviews with law enforcement officials, psychologists, and others involved in the case, Appleby provides valuable insight into the mind of a serial predator. The book is gripping from start to finish, recounting the investigation that ultimately led to Williams' arrest and conviction.… (mehr)

Andrew.Lafleche | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Feb 7, 2024 | A horrible tale of the terror Russell Williams reigned over parts of Ontario for a few years, maybe longer, in an escalating crime spree that ended in the brutal deaths of two young ladies. The author did an amazing job of trying to find why and how Williams became a monster when he had the world at his fingertips. Chilling! I couldn't read it at night for fear of nightmares.

Ani36ol | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Jul 15, 2011 | As someone who followed this case in the newspaper and CBC and CTV during its unfolding, there is nothing new that is presented in this book. However, having said this, for those outside of Canada or eastern Ontario, this book summarizes the shocking and heinous crimes of Russel Williams and gives some biographical details about him. The question of why? remains.

CarterPJ | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Jul 1, 2011 | A brilliant piece of true crime writing that was never boring, nor was it ever monotonous, and given that Col Williams was convicted of over 80 crimes this could have been. Nice attempts at psychological analysis, but like the profilers, I felt that that went nowhere. Truly, a terrible man & also inexplicable as well.
