Those are slightly harder to get your hands on (not impossible, though). And one of these days I'm just going to have to stop reading true crime as a pale, pale substitute, because, well, insert a brief essay here on the many reasons true crime is inherently problematic. This particular book is actually half-decent. Paul Bernardo raped an uncertain number of women in Canada and then, with the coerced help of his wife, kidnapped, tortured, and killed school girls. Bernardo is about as typical an anger-excitation rapist sadist as you can find, complete with huge mommy issues and textbook financial scamming. The authors of this book are right to say that his wife, Karla, is the much more interesting of the two. Somehow, the long, grueling descriptions of her subjugation are more brutal to read than the brief, jigsaw reconstructions of the murders. Anyway, not bad as true crime goes, with a nearly alarming adherence to flat reportage and relatively mild doses of the misogyny and classism that can get pretty toxic in true crime.

The Plot: Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo are two of Canada’s most legendary serial killers – having murdered three young girls (including most disturbingly, Homolka’s sister mere weeks before their wedding). This book kicks off with a teaser of the storm that was slowly building as the other girls’ deaths were discovered, before taking you back to the beginning of their lives, their courtship, and their reign of terror in Southern Ontario. Finally the book reviews the infamous ‘deal with the devil’ the crown made to have Homolka testify against Bernardo in exchange for a lessened sentence – a point of contention in all discussions around the twosome to this day (i.e. How messed up is Karla?).
