I really enjoyed this book. The attention to detail was beautiful from the beginning when it explained what Serial Murder is to its description of the different types of serial murders. There was not one point that was left unexplained - that I noticed. It went as far as using actual known Serial Murderers as examples and giving details on them. From there it went as far as touching base on Female Serial Murderers to the patterns they use and even Serial Murder in works of fiction! Definitely a good read and worth reading again!
