About this listen

Features an audiobook exclusive interview: Suruthi and Hannah interview award-winning author Denise Mina on 'the less dead', equality and bigotry in crime, the justice system and the media.

The highly anticipated book from the UK's number one true-crime podcast, Redhanded!

What is it about killers, cults and cannibals that capture our imaginations even as they terrify and disturb us? How do we carefully consume these cases, and what can they teach us about what makes victims and their murderers our collective responsibility?

Redhanded rejects the outdated narrative of killers as monsters and that a victim 'was just in the wrong place at the wrong time'. Instead, it dissects the stories of killers in a way that challenges perceptions and asks the hard questions about society, gender, poverty, culture and even our politics.

With Bala and Maguire's trademark humour, research on real-life cases and unflinching analysis of what makes a criminal, the authors take you through the societal, behavioural and cultural drivers of the most extreme of human behaviour to find out once and for all: what makes a killer tick?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Much awaited!

I’ve struggled with keeping up with audiobooks befor, but surprisingly this book was an easy bingable listen, and felt like I was listening to a very long Redhanded podcast episode rather than a book. Huge Fan! Well done and keep up the great research. Love from Australia!!!

if you like the podcast you will love the book

Well written deep dive that goes beyond anything that could fit into a podcast episode. Found the content engaging, and it was very well presented.

Amazing

These girls are clever, witty and have amazing chemistry.
They are having fun doing what they live and it does come across.
On top of that the episodes are extremely well researched and their point of view is refreshing and super in tone with currently social climate.
If you haven’t listened to the podcast do yourself a favour and you won’t regret it.
Well done girls!

excellent read

very enjoyable book from Suruthi and Hannah that doesn't lose its podcast brilliance in this format. Wry and sarcastic humour peppered in between interesting, informative, educational and intriguing content. My criticism would be that at some points the authors speak to fast for my liking and some chapters could have been more detailed and a bit longer too. If you haven't already, read this and go find Redhanded podcast and settle in with these two brilliant ladies now. I look forward to them writing more books in the future, well done Suruthi and Hannah!
