We may all know some people who could fit the profile, but sometimes, the term psycho gets used out of context. What defines a psychopath, and how are they different from sociopaths? Psychopathy is not uncommon, and chances are that you might know someone who is one, even though it may have never crossed your mind. To study and understand what a psychopath is and how to look for the signs and subtle differences, is to protect yourself and others, and to get a greater comprehension of the human mind.

I start all of my true crime books with a quick word of warning. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the vile details of truly horrible crimes. In my books, I don’t gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. I try to give my listeners a clear and accurate description on just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish.

The police in Jersey County, Illinois, accepted Paula Sims' story of a masked kidnapper who snatched her baby girl, Lorelei, from her bassinet. Three years later, her second newborn daughter suffered an identical fate - and this time the police were unable to stop searching until they had discovered the whole horrifying truth. This is the full terrifying story of twisted sexuality and hate seething below the surface of a seemingly normal family and of the massive investigation and nerve-shattering trial that made the unthinkable a reality.

Publisher's Summary
"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 best-selling 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 20th and 21st centuries, an examination of the evil mind set against the insoluble problem of identifying psychopaths who kill.
This is not a book 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....

Rambling and self-congratulatory
Maybe I've been spoiled with quite a few really good true crime books. Regardless, this isn't one of these. To begin with, the book doesn't really get going until Chapter 7. Prior to this, the author rambles around to no point whatsoever. I honestly feel like either the author has no ability to think strategically or just rambles to increase the page count. Once the author gets going on the narrative, he does more or less settle down to tell various stories of serial killers. However, I found a lot of this quite annoying. First, the author repeatedly pats himself on the back for knowing and talking to various serial killers. He's so very proud of his ability to talk to these people and get them to tell him the truth. The author really does see himself as the serial killer whisperer. Throughout, the author has to put in his opinion of why a killer did this or that without much evidence to support his claims. The author comes off as so smug that it gets irritating. I honestly just wanted the stories and not the author's ramblings on why what he believes is correct, or telling me that I need to hang on, because the next part is gruesome. Oh, and as an added note, he plugged his other books many times in each chapter. In the end, I would suggest not wasting your money and time on this.

Very boring
This book promises evil stories about the worst humanity has produced, and a look into what makes them tick. The author talking about how brave he was to be in a the same room as some of these killer got old. Also it was controlled/ prison where he met them. Two hours in and I gave up. I hope audible gives me my credit back.

Off-puttingly misogynistic
I cannot fathom why the author insists on hating female offenders more than male. His language is insulting not the offender for the horrible crimes they've committed, but for the fact that they are female. Bundy (a female killer) is described as a slut, dumb, bugeyed, ugly. Her male counterparts often described as "having a point". They're crimes are bad enough to judge them for that. The misogynistic language adds nothing to it. This book left a very sour taste in my mouth, and for it's description of rape and murder.

Not for the faint of heart
Narration was flawless, he brought the stories to life. Kept you interested throughout. If you are the least bit squeamish, you may wish to pass. I do wish there were fewer plugs for his other cases/books....

the definition of 'vanity piece'! dont bother!!
This is absolute drivel and nonsense regurgitated in a less interesting way than previously told in the authors other title ‘talking with serial killers’ which, if you’ve read/listened to this, I’d stop there as that’s all you’re going to get from this author worth entertaining.
This book is the very definition of ‘vanity piece’ and the author comes across here as the real-life Frederick Chilton of ‘silence of the Lambs’ fame (not a compliment!)
Colin Mace is on top form as usual here though!

Spouting right wing tripe any chance he gets
This story is written by an absolute middle aged white man gammon who just wants to push a right wing prison agenda. Calling things “PC” and saying how he wants to hurt the prisoners. Really jarring when the true crime community is mostly more left wing people. Had to turn it off.

A True Psycho
An idiot making a living through interviewing other idiots - separated from his subject matter by the thinnest of lines. A journalistic style somewhere between the ignorance of the Daily Mail and the anti-intellectualism of the The Sun. After-all, the author is making money out of the criminality of others and he hopes you do not notice - end of story.

Terrible...
Awful, sensationalised drivel, with a good handful of populist political ranting on top.
Poorly written, he spends the first 5 chapters telling you 'what the book is going to do' but never actually doing much of it.
The writer/narrators decision to imitate the accent of a member of the Singapore police, beautifully conveyed just how tacky the whole tone is. I persevered for another 10mins after that, shouldn't have bothered.

Self-obsessed and sensationalist
As so many others have mentioned, the writer likes promoting his other books, seemingly without giving us any new information.
He also constantly bigs up how many killers he has spoken to and warns at how gory and intense the content of the audiobook is - get on with it! Not only this, but the way in which he talks about horrific acts such as murder is downright disrespectful, not helped at all by Mace's sensationalist narration. The author revels in the knowledge that what he's saying is truly horrific and disgusting, rather than simply presenting the interesting facts. He gives far too much unwarranted, unfair opinion throughout.
It seems ironic to me that someone talking about the fact that these killers have no human empathy, appears to be lacking in this area himself. Whilst I agree that murderers and rapists should not be put on a pedestal, Berry-Dee takes a childish delight in berating them, calling them 'stupid', 'dumb', 'monsters'. And mocking prison officers who show them some level of human decency.
I certainly won't be reading or listening to any other titles by this author, and frankly only got through this one to clear it from my Audible library.

What a crock of shite!
Well that's about 7 hours of my life I wasted listening to this drivel.
This book could have made about 3 hours shorter if he wasn't constantly repeating himself.
I also lost count of the times author plugged his other book's. If I wanted a list of the authors other works I would have simply done a Google search.
Wouldn't bother buying this book, it's no wonder it was in the Audible sale...... Audible should be paying people to listen to it rather than the other way around.

Rubbish don’t waste your money
This book is really just about Christopher making himself sound like a big man and then works to be ruthless and scathing to the people he is writing about. Massive lack of empathy for victims, and very little evidence backing up the rubbish he is saying. He also spends a massive amount of word count quoting movies and other books.
I wouldn’t waste money on this book

Interesting stories.
Unexpected, one would be led to believe that the author himself is somewhat a psychopath. Beats his own drum quite a bit, revels in the fact that he was able to get this information from these perpetrators. Perhaps it would have been good to determine the psychological difference between a psychopath and a sociopath, as there is one.
