Talking with Serial Killers: A chilling study of the world's most evil people Paperback – 1 Jan. 2018

This book is brilliant, there's even a plot twist and is a true crime book even talks about amtyville horror and the real murders I would highly recommend to anyone that loves reading true crime books 😀

I loved this book. It arrived promptly and only took two days for me to read as I was enthralled. The only downside was the errors in the book as there seemed to be more than the average and I wonder how many times it was proof read before being published. Nevertheless it makes a gripping read and I would buy other books of the same author.

Despite the title of the book and the publisher's blurb this felt like it was all information I could have gleaned for myself with just a bit of online searching and a dose of patience. I'm not too sure about the veracity of the author's claims that he was in personal contact with each and every one of these people as there doesn't appear to be anything in the book that feels like it is new information.Now, that's not to say I didn't enjoy the read because I did - very much. The book tends to cover the backstory of the Killers that are included and that is the information I am interested in. I am less interested in the when and how than in the why. The nearest we can get to answers on the Why question is by looking at the upbringing of the person and how their behaviour was growing up. Because that is what interests me, I enjoyed this book. It also helps that it covered cases I was completely unaware of so this likelyy made it much more interesting for me.The full list of the killers covered is:Michael Bruce RossRonald Joseph "Butch" DefeoAileen Carol WuornosKenneth Allen McDuffDouglas Daniel Clark and Carol May BundyHenry Lee LucasOf these I had only heard of Defeo and Wuornos at the time of reading. As these things go I then saw documentaries online about a couple of the other people/cases and if we're being honest they probably gave me more information that this supposed expose. Yes, I am sticking with my initial 4 Star review on this because I really did enjoy this read and it did give me information I did not have at the time of reading.This review has been a long time coming. I actually read this book between the 22nd and 25th May 2020 so my memory is a bit foggy about all the plot lines. Fortunately, I have a notebook where I jot some initial thoughts on the book and an overall ranking so between the book blurb and that I did have a reasonable handle on what I thought at the time of reading.

This was a great book and an interesting read. Given MH is on the front cover, I expected it to be about her, but it isn't. It is all about the people (ladies convicted of multiple murder) that the author has met and interviewed. Is it shocking in places... yes. But given the subject matter would you expect anything else. It has a fascinating read, and I would try other books by the same author.

It's a good read not as good as some of the author's other texts but well worthwhile. I recommend it.

I have always wanted to explore the minds of serial killers, so it was almost like this book was made for me. Christopher Berry Dee has been on various TV programs, and he is a man that knows what he is talking about, in this book he actually talks to serial killers and asks them questions about their motives behind their victims and their murders, and the responses he gets are phenomenal. I recommend this book to those interested in criminal psychology as a career choice.

I bought this book for my sister in law and she absolutely loved it

Just started reading book, and it's a brilliant book ,can't put it down
