Currently Reading - Blood Stain, Peter Lalor

This is one of those true crime books that I've had here since it was published, and I've tried on a few occasions to pick it up - and the subject matter defeated me everytime.

Now I guess the question remains why on earth would you even want to read a book about such an horrific murderer.  The answer has to be that I read these things to try to get an understanding.  Sometimes it works, sometimes I'm still baffled.

From the Blurb:

On 29 February 2000, Katherine Knight committed an unspeakable act.  A mother of four and a grandmother, she seduced and then stabbed John Price 37 times.

Opening Lines:

At 6pm on the night she killed John Price, Katherine Knight sat singing nursery rhymes with her grand-daughter on her lap, her youngest children at her feet.
