"From what I understand John Douglas is one of the first FBI behavior profilers for murderers. He is one of the reasons we have the TV shows like Criminal Minds, Psych, The Profiler etc. Like the rest of the world, I am fascinated with behavior and the accompany reasons of what it takes for "normal" people to get involved in tragic events such as murder. There but for the grace of God go most of us, pray hard that most of us never have to to be involved in something so ugly. This book analyzes some of the most puzzling unsolved cases in history: John Benet Ramsey, Jack the Ripper, Lindbergh Baby etc. Not only am I fascinated with the behavior, but I love the forensic science approach, too. My type of book, well written (not too geeky, compassionate on all sides."
"I only read one chapter in this book because I needed the information for a research paper. By the time I finished my paper it was due back at the library and I wanted to get back to reading New Moon. Hopefully I can finish the books I have now and then I can read it again."
"This was the book that sat in my bottom drawer to remind me the cases I was investigating were as bad as some. Don't read if you don't have a stomach for discriptions of violence (though they have been sanitized or depersonalized through an investigator's unique perspective.) A good read to remind you to not jump to conclusions or make your mind up before you have seen all there is to see on a case."
