Myra Hindley: A new book.

I don't intend to become a book critic, but I'm fascinated by a new book on the Moors Murderer Myra Hindley. One of your Own, by Carol Ann Lee, is a new look at the so called most evil woman in Britain. I've already read Brady and Hindley by Fred Harrison, Jonathon Goodman's The Moors Murders, Beyond Belief by Emlyn Williams and Duncan Staffs' The Lost Boy. I'm posting this blog because when I review Carol Ann's book I will have a lot to say about this case that does not, nor might not in our time, match up. I believe that The Moors Murder case is the only case in British History that has a 100 year 'D Notice' imposed that can prevent any publication that any person makes by any British government. The deaths of some legal people around the trial of Hindley and Brady and who all was involved in the murders and possible deals that were done at the time were never properly investigated. So in my review of Lees book I will try to create new questions that have very old facts to be brought to the fore. Considering that Murderers are being released after eight to 14 years today what questions should we ask about Myra Hindley?
