In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End in Murder by Jane Monckton-Smith

A very informative and clear book about Inter partner murder and domestic violence. I think this is a must read for anyone working in a mental health field or who is working where they may come across victims of domestic violence.
As the book aimed to be short and informative, I felt there were some nuances left. For example the book doesn’t explain how to distinguish control routines with ocd or autism related routines and compulsions. As a mental health practitioner I think this would have been really vital to understand better.
