About this ebook

Previously published as Becky, this is the heartbreaking story behind the murder of 16-year-old Bristol schoolgirl Becky Watts, a crime that shocked the nation and tore a family in two.

A vulnerable and shy girl, Becky Watts was brutally murdered and dismembered by her own step-brother on 19 February 2015. As her father Darren discovered the horrific details of what happened to his darling girl, his world fell apart.

Writing about the darkest hours, Darren uncovers what Becky’s relationship with her step-brother Nathan, a child he had raised as his own son, was really like. He recalls the devastation of discovering the truth about the depravity with which Becky was torn from him in the safety of her own home. And he recounts the torment of the legal battle to see his step-son sentenced to life behind bars.

Both heartfelt and haunting, searingly honest and unflinching, this is the ultimate story of a family tragedy.

Ratings and reviews

This Book Has Been Such An Fantastic Read But A Very Very Sad And Emotional Story. My Heart Breaks And Goes Out To little Bex And Her Family. 💔 she's a beautiful angel now BRISTOL'S ANGEL ❤️ I can't help but feel so much anger towards Nathan and his girlfriend they are were they deserve, locked away like the animals they are.

I am not the most articulate of people but this tragic account of poor beautiful Becky's story had me hooked, angry, in tears and for the most part wanting to rush to meet Darren and Anjie and tell them how very strong and brave they are. A truly heartfelt account from an honest, down to earth and loving dad!

My heart has broken for this man and his family... but their love for each other is consistently displayed throughout and that love will help them through the darkest of days. A fantastic read. It really makes you want to cherish your own children more and reminds you how cruel this world can be.
