THE CHILLING NEW BOOK FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR, HOWARD SOUNES THAT SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE FRED & ROSE WEST MURDER INVESTIGATIONS


Thirty years since the death of Fred West and the conviction of his wife Rose, in 1995, the West murder case exerts a magnetic fascination for true crime readers. The Wests claimed twelve victims, young women and girls including members of their own family. Nine mutilated bodies were found buried under their home at 25 Cromwell St, Gloucester, the so-called House of Horrors.

Author Howard Sounes wrote the first major book about this extraordinary case, Fred & Rose, having broken stories about the investigation as a journalist. As well as being the first to use this title, which has been much copied since, he was the first to use the phrase House of Horrors, and has become the leading expert in the West case. He is the presenter of a hit podcast series about the murders; and Senior Producer on the new series for Netflix, Fred & Rose West: A British Horror Story, which he also features in. While his first book, Fred & Rose stands as a true crime classic, Sounes's new book - The Fred West Tapes - sheds wholly new light on the investigation, bringing readers into the interview room as detectives quizzed Fred West. The Fred West Tapes will draw a new generation and a global audience to the case.

The Fred West Tapes incorporates remarkable new evidence and primary source testimony, including the experiences of the West children and victim families. With never-before-seen and heard testimony and evidence, this is a fascinating journey into the twisted mind of serial killer Fred West and his marriage to Rose, his partner in crime.

I have listened to Howard’s first book about Fred and rose west numerous times and was surprised to see he had written another about the case! Again such an in depth onsite into one of Britain’s biggest cases, but this time focusing on Fred, really appreciate the insight. Seen from a different view. Loved it.

He’s done it again!

I listened to the original book around the Fred West killings called Fred and Rose a number of times. I was therefore delighted to hear that Howard was releasing another crime book and downloaded it on the day it was released. It is a brilliant book and contains loads of other insights That you may not be aware of from the original story and well worth a listen whether you have or haven’t been familiar with the case in the past.

Another brilliant book from Howard
