Set in Australia, Beyond Bad tells the horrifying story of Katherine Knight also knows as Kathy the Cannibal. She was the first woman in Australia to be sentenced to life without parole. Her crime? She slaughtered her lover by not only stabbing him 37 times, she then went on to skin him, decapitate him and cook his remains into a stew that she was planning on feeding his children. If anyone received a just sentence it was her. To this day she has never expressed one iota of remorse.

I dont know if like is the right word to use to express my feelings about such a horrible crime book. I think the book was very well researched and written. The narrator was wonderful considering the material she had to work with. I read a lot of mystery, thriller, suspense that involves murder, serial killers, etc. I also read true crime but I do have to say this book turned my stomach and that is a hard thing to do. I stopped listening a few times to "catch my breath" and try to understand how any human could go what Katherine Knight did!


If you are interested in true crime novels than you should give this one a read or listen. Be warned, you need a very strong stomach to hear about this murder.
