The Manson Women and Me: Monsters, Morality, and Murder

The Manson Women and Me: Monsters, Morality, and Murder

In the summer of 1969, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel carried out horrific acts of butchery on the orders of the charismatic cult leader Charles Manson. At their murder trial the following year, lead prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi described the two so-called Manson Women as â€œhuman monsters.â€ But to anyone who knew them growing up, they were bright, promising girls, seemingly incapable of such an unfathomable crime.
Â
Award-winning journalist Nikki Meredith began visiting Van HoutenÂ and KrenwinkelÂ in prison to discover how they had changed during their incarceration. The more MeredithÂ got to know them, the more she was lured into a deeper dilemma: What compels â€œnormalâ€ people to do unspeakable things?
Â
The authorâ€™s relationship with her subjects provides aÂ chilling lens through which we gain insight into a particular kind of woman capable of a particular kind of brutality.Â Through their stories, Nikki Meredith takes readers on a dark journey into the very heart of evil.
