Summary
The crime, the criminals, the victims and their families. And the biggest manhunt by British police....
Jack Witney served 25 years in prison although he shot no one and was released on appeal, only to be murdered in his Bristol flat a few years later. John Duddy died in Parkhurst after 15 years. But Harry Roberts, by his own admission the instigator of the crime and the most notorious, was released from prison after 48 years in 2015, making national front page news. What could possess an apparently rational and sane man, albeit a habitual criminal, to commit such a callous and ruthless act? How can an ordinary person understand what he did? Should he be forgiven?

A great insight to this historic and heinous crime
The narrator not only brings the story to live, but adds context to each element of this crime as it plays out. It’s comprehensive and insightful. Great listen to all those that love true crime!

The Shepherd’s Bush Murders
Meticulously researched and very well written.
The narration is excellent and the accents of each character are very good.

Compelling but tragic
All 5 star rating from me for a tragic story well told, it’s just a shame the murderers weren’t all hanged, it would’ve saved a lot of bother later.

Wasn’t gripped
I normally love books like this but sadly it lost my interest regularly, wasn’t bad nor was it great, so much of it was very repetitive, just as I got interested it soon bored me again, some parts were really interesting but I didn’t need to keep hearing it over again, enjoyed how it was read though, if you can get it in the sale it’s worth a listen but I wouldn’t waste a full credit on it

Well written and read
It is hard to believe this individual is free. I struggle to understand, how an individual who did what he did, was able to carry out the acts of intimidation and still be let out.

Nicely paced interesting true crime story
This is an interesting true crime book about a little known, but shocking murder half a century ago. Nicely paced telling that kept my interest throughout
