Killer Families: True Crime: Murder By Dads, Moms, Kids & Spouses

Home is supposed to be the safest place a person can be, but these brief true accounts show how often that is not so. They describe killings carried out by parents, spouses, partners and other relatives. The author explains that women face the greatest danger from men they know, and that the risk often rises when a relationship is ending. Men can also be abused by partners, though physical strength makes women more vulnerable. Children, too, are most at risk from those closest to them rather than from strangers. The book asks readers to consider how safe their own families really are.
