About this listen
'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 . . .

Love reading about serial killers? This is for you
I thought it was great! Good pace, well read, good balance between information and story telling element. Couldn't stop listening.
The accents were fine (not sure what people were complaining about with those)

Pompous and cold
I found the narration style distracting and the author’s constant pompous bragging too much. It made me think that the narcissism he attributes to the killers is something he has in abundance as well.

BRAGGING SESSION
The book has some interesting points but then it's like the author is just bragging about who he has interviewed, where he has been and his other books over and over. Plus the accents he put yeah they are not great either.

Couldn’t get past the accents!
Would be a great book if you could listen to the terrible accents of the narrator. Might be more promising as a physical 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.

Utter nonsensical dribble
I’ve been listening now for 90 minutes and all he’s has done is told 90 different individual 1 minute story’s with little relation to anything this book is meant to be about. I find it ironic that he mocks one prisoner for rambling on and on and not getting to the point, when he has done exactly the same, if not worse in this book so far.
I will keep listening for another hour to see if anything interesting happens. But it just sounds to me like he’s removed a few of his rib cage bones so he can bend over and pleasure himself. He doesn’t stop talking about how amazing he is and how his knowledge on serial killers is second to none, yet he hasn’t mentioned or shown any knowledge at all.
I hope this gets better. I’ll give him one thing, the narrators voice and accents are pretty good. But that’s all so far. I’ll come and edit this if it gets any better. If not then this will stand.
