Sinclair: The World's End Murders Through the Eyes of a Killer
On 15th October 1977, Christine Eadie and Helen Scott left the World's End pub after a fun-filled night with two men in their arms. They had their whole lives ahead of them. They had nothing to fear and everything to look forward to.
Their naked bodies were discovered the following day. They were found six miles apart from each other. No attempt had been made to conceal their bodies, and both girls had been beaten, gagged, tied, raped and strangled.
The case attracted widespread media attention and despite the Police's best efforts, they were unable to identify a culprit. Within the next six months, the investigation was scaled down. The World's End killers were still at large. Free to continue terrorising the streets of Scotland.
Sinclair is a spine-tingling account of Angus Sinclair and the World’s End Murders, one of the most notorious true crime stories in Scotland’s history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the reader into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
This book contains descriptive accounts of torture, abuse and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to read any further.

Absolutely shocking
Angus Sinclair? Never heard of him.
Well, now I know about him, what he is and what he did. I don't know what made him a psychopath, what made him begin as a teenager molesting and raping little girls, what made him rape, torture and murder women. His victims were not important; the only thing that was important was his own satisfaction. His victims were just a means to an end.
Sinclair's crimes escalated in that it took more and more brutality and torture to satisfy him sexually, and he felt that this was his due, that he deserved satisfaction no matter the cost to others.

I always enjoy learning about new serial killers. I had never heard about Angus Sinclair before selecting this audiobook, but Ryan Green has a way of choosing interesting serial killers and delving into their truth. Sinclair was truly a spine-chilling person to learn about. His crimes are dark and ghastly. It leaves you to wonder exactly how a person gets to that point.
I’ve read a lot of true crime so not much bothers me at this point. Angus Sinclair did. The poignant way Ryan Green has of telling the story from the killer’s POV especially made this work difficult to stomach.
Narration matched the tone of this book.

يحكي الكتاب قصة قاتل متسلسل يدعى أنگس سنكلير. جرت الأحداث الواقعية خلال الستينات والسبعينات من القرن الماضي في اسكوتلندا. مارس سنكلير أبشع الجرائم كالقتل والاعتداء الجسدي على ضحاياه من صغار السن وتمكن من الافلات من العدالة نظرا لخبثه ودهاءه. كما أشرك صهره معه في ارتكاب بعض الجرائم لكي يعاونه في اخفاء آثارها. لم تكن أدوات التحقيق الجنائي متطورة بما يكفي خلال تلك الفترة ولذلك كان يقبض عليه احيانا ثم يطلق سراحه لعدم كفاية الأدلة. ولكن بعد سنوات طويلة تم القبض عليه وحكم عليه بالسجن مدى الحياة ونوفي في السجن منذ عدة سنوات.

Ryan Green has outdone himself again. Sinclair is a true crime story about the serial killer Angus Sinclair, operating in the late 70s and 80s in Scotland. Sinclair was beyond sick. Mr. Green assumes the role of Sinclair to tell the story of a horrible, vicious, brutal killer. And I just thought Ted Bundy was bad. He had nothing on Angus Sinclair. He started killing at the age of sixteen, and had it not been for advances in DNA technology, he would have continued to kill. There's no way to know how many young girls he molested, or how many women he killed. Simply for the pure pleasure of it. The pub he got two girls from was called the "World's End". Sadly, for Christine Eadie and Helen Scott, it was the end of their world. I read this book in two sittings as it was hard to put down. I love true crime, and Ryan Green ranks at the top of my list for true crime authors. I can't wait for the next book.

February 9, 2020Mr. Green's books are...
...Always really good, but way too short, causing them to lack detail on the psychological aspects of the killers mind, as well as details such as either pertinent dates or ages in some areas.
I enjoy his writing style, but, his lack of length causes him to lose sight of the details - for example, in the end, where he gives the update on the perpetrator, he doesn't tell the date of that update or his age at that time, so we don't know how far into his sentence he is. In fact, we aren't told the dates of his court cases either so even if we are told the date of his update, we can't tell how far into his sentence he is.
There are just some minor details missing that turn out to be major details to readers when we are trying to analyze things. Not all people read this genre for the same reason.
There's information in the book about psychological evals for the court case when he was younger, but what about when he was an adult? A good attorney would have brought up his low IQ in his case as evaluated as a youngster and I'm sure had him re-tested. In fact, one of his victims brings up that he's "so smart" yet his IQ, the only time it's mentioned, was 80. Green makes no note of the inconsistency.
All of his books are about the same length, and unfortunately I have this problem with all of them. That, and he has a tendency to write about cases that have been written about by hundreds of authors already. This is the only one of his books with a subject that isn't already known to the masses. I'd really like to see Mr. Green improve and write more. We need more true crime authors, and more NEW true crime. He could be one of the up and coming rising stars if he would find new material, do interviews of the family - both victim & peep - and remember to add some psychiatric info. There are forensic psychs in the crime writing sector who consult all the time who would be happy to help with evaluating personality disorders. There are also criminal profilers. Just look for authors like yourself.

📚🦹♂️ NOVEL THOUGHTS 🦹♂️📚
3.5 ⭐⭐⭐
This 130 page book is about as creepy and horrible as it gets as the life of serial killer Angus Sinclair and his bloody legacy is chronicled in gruesome detail. Born in Scotland in post WWII era, his family struggled to put food on the table which led to Angus to be malnourished, small for his age, and suffering with inadequate brain development. After being bullied much of his young life for his stature and lower IQ, he became withdrawn and angry at the world. When his libido kicked in, his lack of confidence with girls his age, led him to the unthinkable as he began to molest and torture young girls from his neighborhood who hadn't even reached double digits in age. To hide one of his conquests and keep her from telling on him, he brutally murdered her and sent her 8 yr old body down the basement stairs. Once discovered, and though her death couldn't be pinned on 14 yr old Angus, the police became suspicious of him. His predilections couldn't be quelled though and he went on to do this deed multiple times. Eventually, his other bad behavior of stealing, led him to prison for 10 years and while there, other sexual offenders taught him everything he needed to know to not get caught. When he left prison early because of good behavior, he began his decades long terrorizing of young, vulnerable women, molesting them to fill his need for sexual gratification and then killing them to keep his cover. During this time, he was also married and eventually had a son.
The author doesn't shy from any of the graphic nature of his crimes and highlights 8 of the unsolved cases but believed to be at his hands. The book is shocking and there were moments when the reader will gasp out loud as the crimes of these innocent women are described. This is a fast read if your stomach and brain can handle it!

Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer
As a true-crime TV watcher I happened to catch an episode on the REELZ channel of "Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer" at the end of January 2020. It featured the murderer by the name of Angus Robertson Sinclair. I wondered why I had never come across this particular Scottish serial killer?
During a commercial break I attempted to find a book about Sinclair and to my surprise there was a book, I had downloaded a sample, but never read it. Well I'm reading it now and the TV program was just a teaser. I'm thoroughly enjoying how Ryan Green has set up the book and how it flows.
Something of particular interest was how Sinclair's time in prison shaped him to be a more cunning predator with the facade of respectability. His glib con man ways made him a great salesman, ladies' man, and cunning killer. Lies easily rolled off his tongue. Do not pass this book by. There's nothing on the cover to entice you, but you'll regret it later when you finally get to it.
Okay I'm going to finish reading the book now. Ryan Green's style of writing as the voice of the killer creatively combines imagination, forensics, and nonfiction. It made the story more compelling and the narrative is not choppy. I was disappointed Sinclair was not charged with / convicted of all his crimes, but because of him Scottish legislatures changed criminal laws. I grieve the terror and violations suffered by all of his very young victims, as well as the teen / adult ones. I praise the Cold Case squad for their perseverance. And I Thank God for DNA.

I have to start by saying that Ryan Green’s style of writing makes me feel like I’m watching 1-2 hour true crime story. The drama and suspense is there but not because he takes a true story and embellishes key parts to suck you in even deeper or add jaw dropping twists on the tale. It’s the crime the way it happened and he details leading to the antagonist’s demise.
As for the style that was presented to us, it was like a bunch of torturous short stories all with the common denominator being Angus Sinclair. This tale is told in third person but gives it to you more from Sinclair’s point of view. However, Ryan does not draw you into feeling any sympathy towards Angus, as he to be honest, deserves none.
As for Sinclair, I’m Not sure which is more disturbing. The crimes that he committed or the time frame in which he “worked.” Not to mention the fact that he went to jail for murdering a little girl, only to go to jail to learn how to be an even better sexual assaulting, child molesting killer. The only reason Ryan was able to bring us a portion of Sinclair was beneath it all, he appeared to love his wife and family. But one by one as they took him out of their lives, his conscience left with them.
He sits today in jail in Wales for the rest of his life. I am surprised that he hasn’t been a victim of jail house justice. He does have the opportunity for parole when he’s 106 but let’s hope he doesn’t make it that far

This is a good book if you like to read about true crime. It's the second book I have read by Ryan Green and enjoyed reading them. The first was The Dating Game Killer. I don't really get joy out of reading about monsters like these, but the books are written well and being true keeps me interested. Ryan Green does his homework and the books are filled with facts. Angus Sinclair was a monster most of his life. He enjoyed having total control of his victims and killed them as he raped them. He was in prison for his first crime and got out for good behavior. While in prison, he learned from career criminals how to get away with his crimes. He was a master at covering his tracks. Eventually with the discovery of using DNA to solve crimes he was caught. A book like this is hard to read, but what a good feeling when you read that justice was done. The book is well written and researched. I will read another after I take a break to read something a little lighter, a good fiction murder mystery perhaps. Enjoy reading.

Very interesting read about Angus Sinclair, who in Scotland is better known as the World's End murderer, that discusses his life from a child up until his recent years as an elderly man still in prison. Quite brief due to him not being convicted for all of his crimes or even confessing to many, yet it leaves you believing that he committed a lot more than he was ever caught for or discussed. Physicologically very interesting if you're into that kind of thing. Despite it being interesting and a good read, it wasn't very well written in my opinion. I personally really like Ryan Green as an author but this didn't live up to his usual standard for me. I think its downfall is the fact that a lot of details or information is quite brief due to Sinclair not being convicted or confessing to all of his crimes or the full details of them. Trigger warning, this book does discuss sexual violence and murder.

In a short story it's amazing how much the author Ryan Green has been able to compress so much of this beautifully perfection of a true story.
I'm amazed of the monsters roaming our streets !
Sure we all read or see the news which tell us that another one was caught but no news tell us the full story.
In a way it sometimes seems that the author actually takes the villain side but I believe that he is trying to explain how it could all have been avoided, that circumstances are to blame which is probably true.
Catching the problem while the subject is young enough before his brain stops growing and wires itself could have changed everything, the problem is knowing and reaching those unknown in time.
Beautifully written a real masterpiece!
Perfectly narrated !
Absolutely recommended.

Child molester becomes child rapist becomes rapist becomes murderer.
"The World's End" murders are named after the pub two of Angus Sinclair's victims were last seen leaving. But Sinclair was molesting young girls since he himself was a teenager in Scotland. He continued to molest, sexually assault, rape, and murder until he was caught in the 1980s. The first murder he's admitted to took place in 1961 when he was sixteen, and while this may indeed have been his first murder, there are many, many that he's never admitted to. In fact, this book follows only four victims' stories -- the four in which Sinclair was found guilty.
If you're squeamish this book may not be for you, as the assault against these women (and young children) is abhorrent, yet Ryan Green does a great job of making a readable true crime that disturbs the reader but also gets the details out there.

Ryan Green recounts the criminal career of Angus Sinclair, which is serial molestation, kidnapping, and murder. How many crimes cannot be determined. It feels a bit like this character may have had a confession spree like Henry Lee Lucas. Still the extent of his crimes are not really as interesting as the unique legal path that led to his life imprisonment in Scotland on multiple rape charges. This led to prior convictions generally seen as too disparaging for most modern courts to become admissible as well as passage of an act in Scotland that makes various provisions for circumstances when a person convicted or acquitted of an offence can be prosecuted anew.

Bloodthirsty, cold blooded, insatiable serial killer.
The author has a great insight into the characters that he writes about. In this book, he provides good insights into what makes both the victims and the killer tick. I found this book riveting, from start to finish. Angus displays the classic serial killer symptoms, from a very young age. As he gets older and more experienced, his tactics become more polished. Even jail doesn't faze him. It's very chilling to get glimpses into the mind of this ice cold serial killer, who regards his victims as nothing more than playthings to serve his dark desires. The descriptions of some of the murders are very graphic and hard to read. I recommend this book for those who enjoy reading about true crime.

Angus Sinclair's life of crime began at thirteen, as he was nabbed by two policemen for robbing a Glasgow Catholic church. He was not charged but his mother was warned to keep an eye on the wayward boy.
The small and awkward child was picked on by classmates and grew up without a father who had died of cancer. His resentment grew into violent sexual fantasies involving women. He molested and strangled a little girl and was sent to prison for seven years.
His rapes and murders went unpunished for many years until he was finally convicted of sexually assaulting several young girls. DNA evidence proved his guilt in one murder, but he is likely responsible for many more. Ryan Green is a thorough investigator and Sinclair is a good read.

I had never heard of Angus Sinclair, but I have read many books by Ryan Green. He always manages to bring a true crime story to life in a unique way and this book is no exception.
Mr. Green takes the facts of the case and writes them in a way that is almost like reading a novel. He delves into the background of this horrific murderer without making him sympathetic while also not sensationalizing him. He also makes the victims come to life instead of just being names on a page.
The narrator does a great job and his performance is perfect for this type of book. If you "enjoy" true crime, you can't go wrong with this book or any others by this author. It's just sad and horrifying that there are such monsters walking the streets with us, waiting for their next victim!

It's obvious that this story involves quite a lot of supposition on the part of the author. It's all logical and reasonable, but there's no way to verify some of these details as fact. On the other hand, other more important (and more verifiable) details, such as dates, ages, autopsy reports, etc., are omitted. It's apparent that the author is capitalizing on the sensational nature of this horrific case.
Steve White reads this short book quite expertly. His voice is pleasantly suitable for this sort of material.

Another home run
for Ryan Green. I'd never heard about Angus Sinclair until this story introduced me to him. The only positive remark I can think of, regarding this monster, is it's a good thing he never bonded with his one and only son.
The harm Sinclair caused to so many people is horrific and to think that there's even more that he never admitted to is frightening.
Green weaves the facts of this case into a thrilling, yet skin crawling narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat ... with the doors locked and all the lights in the house on.
I was glad to read that Sinclair died 11th March of 2019 of pneumonia and heart disease. Hard to believe he had a heart.

A harrowing but well-researched read
Ryan Green did a good job with this book, it was well thought out, descriptive and a book I will not forget reading. Angus Sinclair is beyond evil, what he did to the victims was absolutely horrific. Not admitting to all of his atrocities leaves families never knowing the truth of what happened to their loved ones. Sinclair will die in prison, the world will be a better place when he is no longer in it. If you are a True Crime Reader I wholly recommend you read this, it makes you realise that evil truly does exists.

Sinclair is one messed up, evil dude. Wow. I don't like my true crime sugar-coated, I've literally heard and seen it all as a lifelong true crime/horror movie fan, so this was right up my alley. It's soo hard to imagine this being REAL, and people out there being this sick and twisted, but I'm sure we don't know the half of it. THAT'S what's truly scary to me. Great book, great narration, excellent.

Sinclair: The World's End Murders through the Eyes of a Killer was another good read by Ryan Green. In October of 1977, Christine and Helen left the World's End pub with two men. Unfortunately the next day their naked bodies are found. They were beaten, gagged, tied, raped and strangled; and there was no attempt to conceal their bodies. Due to DNA profiling advances, investigators in Scotland linked Angus Sinclair to the murders. Although it isn't known how many victims he had, it is thought to be at least six but it could be twice that. This is another good read for any true crime fan.

Bought a box set of 12 of his books for a majorly reduced price. I was really impressed at first with how much I enjoyed them but the quality had devolved so much. It went from detailed facts to Green seemingly imagining what the killer is thinking. You find at the end he doesn’t have facts to back that up. The oddly excited way he describes the rape and killing almost makes it seem like he enjoys writing that bit. I’m going to finish the twelve but damn this was hard to get through with how he described things and detailed it when he didn’t even know if that’s how it happened!

This is a true crime story about a serial killer and rapist who terrorized scotland in the 1970s. Angus Sinclair was a working man who was simply a sociopath. He lived to slake his thirst for sex and violence. This book tells the stories of several of his victims. How he would stalk and murder them and how he was eventually caught and brought to trial. It's an interesting story, but a little dry. Facts don't always make for tantalizing writing.
