Synopsis
Having delved into the heads of many of the world's most notorious murderers and published his gripping findings in the bestselling Talking with Serial Killers, for his latest book, renowned crime expert Christopher Berry-Dee has gained the trust of more monsters across the world and entered their prison lairs to discuss in detail their horrific crimes. Looking at the unique reality of their criminal lives and documenting the extent of their brutishness and cruelty, this book delves deep into the dysfunctional minds of a dozen social outcasts. Christopher Berry-Dee has also spent hundreds of hours corresponding with those incarcerated for the rest of their days and those on death row awaiting execution. Every sentence, paragraph and page of their writing provides clues to the reasons behind their homicidal behaviour -- making this book a must-read for aficionados of the genre and anyone fascinated by the extremes of the human condition. As you too come face-to-face with the most evil people in the world, their crimes will undoubtedly sicken and terrify; their words, however, will fascinate as you are drawn in to a world of hate, corruption, obsession, lust, power, terror and ultimately, death. Beyond the headlines, once the courtroom drama has subsided and the prison gates locked behind them for good, Dead Men Talking allows you to get up close and personal with torturers, psychopaths and mass murders, to read the stories that are rarely heard and get the last word from some of the world's worst criminals.
Review
I love true crime. I've, like so many, find it relaxing and interesting.
I've been watching it for years!!
Never have I ever read any books about it though and although I enjoyed this book which I was recommended and had to dust off, it was lacking something.
I know in true crime, their are some pretty disturbing things that happen, this was censored.
I also felt that the author added too many words, like we don't need complex wording to describe what's happening.
We want the guts and gore. we're all morbidly curious and are fascinated by this...
Also the title is slightly misleading when the 3rd chapter is not only a woman and not a dead woman talking, but she killed her husband. 1 person... that is not the making of a serial killer.
