It's called The Witness Wore Red by Rebecca Musler.

She was the 19th wife of one of these men. And honestly, this book reads like the handmaid's tale.

It's such an intense read, even the second time around.

And the story is incredibly soulful at times.

This is a book that I think everybody should pick up.

It was called Fascinating Womanhood.

It had nothing to do with womanhood. It had everything to do with men.

The book talks in depth about how to be respectful to men, but stand out and set a ways that were not slutty or whorish, such as make yourself appear weaker than a man to please his ego.

There's also a book on this case called Bone Deep, the untangling of the Betsy Faria murder case.

Charles Bosworth Jr. is just really an amazing author. I highly recommend, honestly, any one of his books.

There is a lot of legal insight in this book that I could not find anywhere else.

Now, side note, the book is written so that all the legal information is just so easy to digest.

The book also never loses touch with the emotional side of this tragic story.

There is a book on this called No Surrender written by Hiro Onoda, which is the guy that we're talking about. I want to say it's Onoda, but it's a good book. I don't know if I would recommend it because well, you're gonna find out why.

He received a hero's welcome, which like is weird because the guy killed a ton of people. He was awarded a military pension and signed a $200,000 contract for his book No Surrender, which is why I don't know if I recommend you reading it because this is technically a war criminal, right?

The first one, The Hospital How I Survived the Secret Child Experiments at Aston Hall by Barbara O'Hare.

Which I don't even know if there's words to describe how touching her story is.

The book is so immersive that you almost feel trapped inside Aston Hall with Barbara.

It's haunting, devastating, depressing and horrifying.

Listen this book is incredible and this podcast I hope gets more people talking about this case but in no way will it ever compare to Barbara's book so please go read it.

As well as The Asylum by Carol Minto.

It's just as incredible, just as hard to get through as Barbara's book.

It makes you question humanity.

It's a really humbling and empowering story so please whatever you do this week pick up both these books.

There's actually a whole book on this called Slavery and Social Death it was i believe published in like the 90s so really not a new term it's by Orlando Patterson it just talks a lot about not just slaves but people that are not accepted as fully human in society and it's it's really bad like just the psychological damage that alone can cause especially with today's day and age it's something to look into

It's one of those books that you get sucked into and you don't even feel like you're reading anymore. You feel like you're rather just watching a show in your head.

It's truly a deep dive into the mind of an egocentric, sadistic serial killer.

Phelps even corresponded with the killer in jail. There's lots of interesting tidbits of their letters back and forth.

The killer was super paranoid about his letters being read, so he had these like intense, I wouldn't call it quirks, but like things that he did.

So go pick up a copy of this book. I mean, it's incredible work.

There is a book called Masquerade by Lowell Coffel.

And both these books are incredibly well written.

As for Masquerade, there was a lot of focus on Jan, Al's wife, the woman that was, you know, listening to the helicopter.

The whole book itself is thorough. It's clearly incredibly well researched, but it never dragged on.

It felt like every sentence was worth reading and there was just a lot of power in this book. So I highly recommend it.

oh why don't you help me work on the book that I'm writing on the project? It's going to be called Therapeutic Peers

So while helping Dr. Al write this book Jan feels comfortable enough to give him suggestions on certain chapters.

He published his book Therapeutic Peers gave a few lectures on it

And he would devote his life to something and when he felt the impact was made he would just kind of move on.

But I'm really glad he moved on because his project was just plain creepy.

But there is this book on it called Cruel Death by M. William Phillips.

This man is amazing. He's like a serial killer expert. He's written, I think, close to 65 true crime books.

I mean, this book is thorough. It does a great job at building suspense.

And I think honestly the most important thing is it gives a very detailed insight into Erica and BJ's mindset as they grow up and they develop into these deranged killers.

The author does an amazing job analyzing their actions, the mindset throughout the murder, and explaining why some of the things don't make sense and the things that they likely lied about because there's going to be a lot of lies.

And I could never stumble across any proper deep dive on this case until this book.

It's called The Death of an Heir, Adolph Coors III, written by Philip Jett.

And I don't know where to start. Of course, Mr. Jett is very meticulous with getting his facts. But on top of that, he's got this way of writing. It makes you picture everything in your head as you read.

The book is fantastic.

Philip even tracked down the people that were directly involved, trying to get these firsthand accounts, which, you know, considering what type of family you're dealing with, I'm sure that this was incredibly difficult to do.

But there is an insane book on this case called Double Jeopardy by Bob Hill.

This is like an OG true crime nonfiction book. I've heard of this book over the years. It's incredibly in depth. It's thorough and there is a lot of good information there.

I would just say that it gets super emotional at times.

You are gonna leave this book angry.

And that is in no fault of the author. It's just this case in general.

Brenda knew she had a problem.

She even read a book called Woman Who Loved Too Much, and she related to the girls who were taught to go along with everything since they were young.

They were taught to comply even if they don't like it or agree with what's happening, even if it doesn't make them happy.

They were taught to not make waves or noise.

They were taught and trained to be submissive. And she identified with that.

But there is an incredibly thorough, meticulously researched book on this case. Written by the author, Stephen Levy. It's called The Unicorn's Secret.

I'm gonna be honest with you, it's a super intense read. Like, I'm talking jam-packed, every single page with information.

Stephen went through more than 250 personal interviews to those that were connected to the case. He went through all the public and private documents he could get his hands on.

He put his heart and soul into this. And this by far, hands down, is gonna be the best deep dive that you will get on this case.

So go grab a copy.

He also wrote a book called 78-187880.

He said he didn't want to give a book a title so that it would suggest a topic.

It was supposed to be a deep dive into his philosophy and his theory of global transformation, if you could read it, that is.

It was not even close to becoming a New York Times bestseller.

Out of the 10,000 copies printed, only 2,000 were sold.

But have you gone and picked up a copy of the book called Dismembered? Okay, I highly recommend it.

It sounds sick and twisted, and it is, but it is a really well written book on this case.

The authors did extensive research. They spent a lot of time not just putting the book together, but also on the victims' lives and trying to showcase who they were as people.

It's written by the two authors Susan D. Mustafa, who also happens to have a really good book on the Zodiac Killer, by the way, and Sue Israel.

And this book is super detailed. So if you're interested in this case at all, I highly, highly recommend this book.

his favorite book was the great detectives which was a nonfiction book that just compiles the best real-life adventures of some of the most famous detectives in history and while reading he came across Eugene Vidocq of Paris and he thought wait a minute that's me I relate we're both wild childs we're both you know breaking the laws I mean obviously millions not killing people but he is you know a bully he's doing things that he shouldn't be doing and and then he crossed over to the good side and that's what William wanted to do he wanted to do some good but he just didn't know where

There is a really good book on this called Alice and Gerald a homicidal love story.

It's by the author Ron Fransell which listen this author has a way of just captivating you into a story.

I've read one of his other books The Darkest Night. You just feel so many emotions.

I highly recommend reading his books.

The author spent more than 18 months talking to Gerald for this book.

I've read one of his other books The Darkest Night. You just feel so many emotions.
