'I wrapped duct tape around her mouth and her nose and watched her suffocate to death . . . then I went back to work' - former Colonel David Russell Williams of the Royal Canadian Air Force, 2010

Sunday Times-bestselling author Christopher Berry-Dee is back with a companion volume that delves even deeper into the savage world of psychopaths and their hideous crimes. This time, however, he combines sections on killers whom he has known, interviewed or corresponded with, with studies of psychopathic serial killers from the past, including Peter Kürten, the 'Düsseldorf Monster', John Christie, responsible for the killings at 10 Rillington Place; and Neville Heath, a ladykiller in every sense of the word.

The result is a chilling narrative that sets the forensic examination of killers and their crimes within the context of murder in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, an examination of the evil mind set against the insoluble problem of identifying psychopaths who kill.

This is not an audiobook for the squeamish, but it is undeniably fascinating in its portrayal of just what one human being will do to others - while all too often moving among us unnoticed and unhindered. If their crimes seem as incomprehensible as they are horrific, it is undeniably true that the world's most savage killers may be much closer than we think . . . Crime Murder True Crime

At first very annoying the deadpan, matter of fact delivery is entirely appropriate to the subject matter - of people doing unspeakably awful things who don't basically give a damn. The delivery conveys that lack of emotion on the part of the perpetrator. It's like listening to the inner thoughts of homicidal and sadistic robots. To understand how these people work you have get you head round personal gratification untempered by morality or empathy. It is a very unpleasant place to be - but someone has to do the job. I don't envy the author but I think what he is trying to convey deserves our respect and is worthy of our time. The discussion can be very discursive at times but that does shed light on what can be understood from other cases. This is a story from the dirty and dusty psychological coal face rather than the tidy and clean mine engineer's office. It is a journey into darkness that I believe anyone with the moral fibre for it should take - so they can re-emerge into the light better informed, even if saddened, about what goes on in the hidden places. If it covers what has been written about before then I haven't read any of it, so as a first step into the darkness it seems to work very well.

TERRIFYING.
