pickA psychological look at some famous serial killers. A look at patterns, motivation and why they kept killing. It does get a bit wordy at times so took me a while to get through it. 3*

pickI love watching shows like 20/20, 48 Hours and Dateline, and this book fell right along with that. Douglas and Olshaker write about the beginning of the Behavioral Unit at the FBI. They look at the behind the scenes.
The first part of the book dealt with Douglas' early life and time at the FBI. I would have preferred they looked at more cases. Some of the cases they explored I knew about, but there were quite a few I didn't. Overall, ⬇️

pickAn absolutely brilliant book. As a lover of true crime and an interest in how our brains work and what makes us tick this was a perfect book for me. The writing is brilliant, informative, emotional and really thought provoking. It really had me questioning at times and for several of the case studies I need to take time to process what I had read. She really fights for the need for better mental health services and I couldn‘t agree with her more.

I really enjoyed this one!
Serial Killers and Profiling are my favourite genres in fiction, so I thought, this, being the birth of behavioural analysis would either kill that love or amplify it. Glad to report the latter.
Going through all the different cases and scenarios, seeing the behind the scenes of what was put into creating a department in the FBI solely focusing on criminal behaviour and background. Fascinating from start to finish.
