“Read this on the recommendation of my therapist. It was definitely educational, but the explicit details proved overwhelming at times. Violence against women and children are integral to the development of this research and information, but are distressing to continuously read about.”

“This wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. While it was interesting, I could have done without the whole background on Roy Hazelwood. I will admit that he is a gifted profiler, the stories weren’t a deep dive into the evil that men do or why men do evil. It seemed more like a retelling of his cases and how he went about profiling the perpetrator. Oh and the word aberrant is way over used in this book. Please find a thesaurus. 3 stars as I could take it or leave it.”
