This was an absolute sensation to read. I loved every page and word. It sticks the true spirit of the podcast which I listen to near enough every day and Hannah and Suruthi have absolutely smashed the whole author thing! If you are a true crime fanatic you will love this quick but deep dive into the world of serial killers and more.

challenging dark informative medium-paced

4.5

Overall, a well researched and fascinating look into what makes a murderer. Each chapter does a dive into an individual (or couple) to describe that section which I really liked to help explain the concept being discussed. 
My only query was their understanding of the brain in people with ADHD verses psychopathy - both are underactive, but it is the areas which are affected which makes the significant difference! 
Throughout they kept their sense of wit which certainly helped to lightened the darker moments.
