About this listen
Professor David Wilson has spent his professional life working with violent men - especially men who have committed murder. Aged 29 he became, at that time, the UK's youngest ever prison governor in charge of a jail, and his career since then has seen him sat across a table with all sorts of killers: sometimes in a tense interview; sometimes sharing a cup of tea (or something a little stronger); sometimes looking them in the eye to tell them that they are psychopaths.
Some of these men became David's friends; others would still love to kill him.
My Life with Murderers tells the story of David's journey from idealistic prison governor to expert criminologist and professor. With experience unlike any other, David's story is a fascinating and compelling study of human nature.

Excellent read, credit to David
I was a police officer in the UK and met with David in my capacity as a police trainer as officers always love to receive training from criminologists. This book therefore didn't disappoint. It was interesting hearing about the bureaucracy that exists within the British prison system, as I am currently working in the Australian prison system, so it is good to draw the comparisons. I did not know David's background in the prisons so it was interesting to hear where it all started for him. The people he writes about are quite fascinating and I researched more about them after listening to this book. The only thing I didn't like is the way David narrates at times - he doesn't have much connotation - sorry David!

Unfortunately I Found it very boring and monotone. There was no personality in his voice.

Blah
I never liked him whenever he came on tv so I should not have bothered with this book. Not much of interest in it for me as a dedicated fan of true crime books.
