Review by Kim Cantrell
Austrialian born Christopher Wilder appeared to be a model citizen; well liked and respect by his well-to-do Mission Hill Road neighbors.
But there was a monster who lurked beneath the façade; a psychotic sexual predator who lured women with his promises of modeling fame then tortured his victims before killing them.
In The Beauty Queen Killer, author Bruce Gibney outlines the nationwide travels of a killer on the prowl and the law enforcement officials trying to stop him.
This past-faced, 212-page read may have been published almost 20 years ago, but is one that could still easily make a Top 10 list.
The appendix of this book includes letters written by psychtrist who interviewed Christopher Wilder along with article written by Judith Knight – a journalist who consulted a psychic for clues on the whereabouts of Wilder’s victims whose bodies still remain missing. Quite frankly, said appendix section could have been left out as it offers no real value to the book. However, for some it will make interesting reading; although I personally recommend stopping with page 186.
That aside, I’d say The Beauty Queen Killer is definitely a must read. You really don’t want to miss it!
