RedHanded: An Exploration of Criminals, Cannibals, Cults, and What Makes a Killer Tick by Hannah Maguire, Suruthi Bala

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.
