ROSE WEST: THE MAKING OF A MONSTER (OLD TITLE: ROSE: A PORTRAIT OF THE SERIAL KILLER AS A YOUNG GIRL)

Book ID/图书代码： 04851311B46677

English Summary/英文概要： Although it’s hard to believe now, Rose West was an exceptionally beautiful little girl with long, glossy dark hair and big brown eyes. Strangers would stop and stare at her in the street and she could entrance people from an early age. Looking at photos of young Rosie as a child, it is almost impossible to comprehend that she would grow up to become one of Britain’s most notorious female murderers.

What happened to that little girl to make her capable of such violence? Or was there something wrong - a predisposition to cruelty - which she was born with?

Crime writer Jane Carter Woodrow goes back to the start of Rose’s life to piece together what it was that turned her into a monster. In doing so, she presents us with a profile of the young Rose West and a fascinating insight into the mind of a killer.

Rose’s early life made her the perfect partner for Fred West when they met just before her sixteenth birthday. But the young teenager would kill for the first time a few months later, alone and unaided, while Fred was in prison. Her part in the killings is very different to that which many people believe even today.

ROSE is a gripping read which sheds light for the first time on the real story of Rose West - taking the reader on a journey from her childhood through to her becoming the country’s biggest and most infamous female sexual predator and serial killer.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 虽然现在很难相信，但是Rose West曾经确实是一个非常美丽的女孩儿，乌黑长发，褐色水灵的大眼睛，甚至是过街的路人都忍不住要停下来关注她。看着照片上这位惹人怜爱的小姑娘，谁又能想到，长大后来居然成为英国最臭名昭著的女性杀人犯。

到底发生了什么，让这样一个女孩儿变得如此暴力，还是她与生俱来的天性?

犯罪作家简.卡特伍德回到Rose West生命的最初，寻找促使她变成恶魔的原因所在。在我们面前的将是Rose West整个年轻时代的剖面图，并使读者能够洞察一个杀手灵魂深处的秘密。

Rose十六岁生日之前与弗雷德的相遇，使得她能够成为弗雷德的最佳伴侣。仅仅数月之后，Rose开始了她生命中的第一次杀戮，而那时弗雷德已被捕入狱。

本书将首次呈现Rose West 的生命历程，读者在这部作品中将会看到一个普通的女孩儿是如何一步步沦为英国最恶名昭著的女性性掠夺者和连环杀手。(兼职翻译FSF)
