- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I didn’t read what this book was about, but I found it great in several areas. Historical knowledge of some awfully sick people, warnings about what to look for in a first meeting and how to deal with and evade a bad situation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very informative. I know, abt serial killers? Not only does this try to explain the psychy of the serial, define what a serial killer is (by definition) & gives you some cases for examples. It also has tips, from serial killers, at the end. Well written & a solid 5 stars. (This one does have some of the more gory details, of what was done to the victims.)
