I was afraid this would be almost identical to the other book I read about him, but there was a lot of new information in here including much more information on crimes the killer is suspected of or is known known to have committed. This guy really has issues. I found myself thinking that the countless medical professionals who dismissed him as "just a psychopath" were really missing the point. He had a serious drinking problem, plus any amount of unresolved trauma and he used to sit by the hour...

A good book but a bit too much waffle padding it out, not for the squeamish.
Having grown up in the UK, and with a love of true crime fostered by my mother who loved reading about serial killers, I was genuinely shocked to realise I had never even heard of Patrick Mackay, despite his killing at least five, possibly eleven or more people, in a period of just two years in the 1970s. In this excellent and detailed examination of Mackay’s life, crimes and victims, I learned all about this terrifying psychopath, a juvenile delinquent who killed seemingly on a whim and began a...

When I first started reading this book I was a little worried. I kept starting it and then sitting it back down because it was hard for me to get into. I'm glad I stuck with it because this book was very interesting! I love true crime. I don't know why but I like reading books and watching movies that deal with killers mostly because I want to know why they did what they did. I want to know what causes them to do what they do.

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.Like many people, true crime intrigues me. It’s always bothered me that someone can take a life and feel no remorse. And there seem to be so many serial killers who not only feel no remorse but enjoy killing and feel the need to kill over and over.Because I’ve read quite a few true crime books and I watch a lot of true crime shows on TV, I was surprised that I’...

In 1975 a young, deeply troubled alcoholic boy, came before the court in London, charged with three brutal murders. Two were elderly women, one a neighborhood priest. The youth charged with their murders, Patrick MacKay was twenty-two at the time and had a criminal career stretching back eleven years.Journalist John Lucas has written a sober, detailed biography of this Nazi-obsessed youth, speculating over eight other similar murders of which Mackay might reasonably be accused, making him one of...
