I looovveee true crime and learning about the minds of people who kill. This book is excellent in that it gives so much detail about the mind of the killer instead of only the crime scene. I definitely recommend, it was so good.

Made some interesting comments but I skimmed through a couple sections that didn’t interest me. Like all informational books, there is always going to be parts you aren’t fully absorbed in and others that you feed off the knowledge.

I love the information on profiling. I had always wondered how they figure out what type of person could commit a specific scenario in rapists and murderers. It’s a cool inside look on how perpetrators are caught.

Towards end of the book I felt information was bits and piece. I didn't enjoy as much.
