Publisher's Summary
'Whodunnit' doesn't matter so much, not to a forensic psychiatrist. We're more interested in the 'why'.
In his 26 years in the field, Richard Taylor has worked on well over a hundred murder cases, with victims and perpetrators from all walks of life. In this fascinating memoir, Taylor draws on some of the most tragic, horrific and illuminating of these cases - as well as dark secrets from his own family's past - to explore some of the questions he grapples with every day:
- Why do people kill?
- Does committing a monstrous act make someone a monster?
- Could any of us, in the wrong circumstances, become a killer?
As Taylor helps us understand what lies inside the minds of his patients, using their own words to tell their stories, he presents us with the most important challenge of all: how can we find common humanity, even in the darkest of human deeds - and why it is so vital that we try?
The Mind of a Murderer is a fascinating exploration into the psyche of killers, as well as a unique insight into the life and mind of the doctor who treats them. For fans of Unnatural Causes, The Examined Life and All That Remains.

Amazing content
Even though I struggled with his monotone way of speaking at first, it became strangely soothing after a while. The content is gripping and I loved that he shared a very personal story in his book.

Interesting cases, average narration
Great content in this book however the narrator is lacking enthusiasm and punctuation. Sounds like it’s very boring for him in turn making listening boring
