Summary
The terrifying story of the most monstrous serial killers through history.
Serial killers are the most notorious and disturbing of all criminals, representing the very darkest side of humanity. Yet they endlessly fascinate and continue to capture the public's attention with their strange charisma and deadly deeds. From Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy and the Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, these killers transfix us with their ability to commit utterly savage acts of cruelty and depravity.
Only with modern police detection methods and psychological profiling have these figures that have existed throughout human history finally been identified in the deadliest category: serial killers. These methods, the killers' characters and their crimes are described here in fascinating and terrifyingly gripping detail. The whole history of serial killers is brought to life in 50 chapters, including:
- Herman Webster Mudgett
- Devil in the White City
- John Christie
- The 10 Rillington Place Murders
- The Zodiac Killer
- Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the Moors Murderers
- Ted Bundy
- Fred and Rosemary West
- Jeffrey Dahmer
- Aileen Wuornos
- Harold Shipman, Dr Death.

It's ok.
Didn't really learn anything I didn't already know. It's just like an encyclopaedia of serial killers with a chapter on each named one. Good for reference purposes.

Another Decent Selection
This is a decent selection of serial killers most I’ve never heard of. It had just enough information for the listener not to be bored.
The narration was spot on for this type of audiobook.

Not bad but once was enough!
Covers a lot of serial killers but not in great detail! So therefore it's quite long winded & leaves you wanting a bit more. The killers I have more knowledge on (Fred & Rose, Bundy etc) were told in a very, very vague way & not necessarily chronological in their murders/life story. Each chapter covers one serial killer but the narrator announces a title halfway through the chapter so it can get confusing as to whether you have finished the chapter or not - if I wasn't concentrating I would get a little lost & have to rewind!
Not a bad book, but probably better for someone who knows nothing about any serial killers!! I guess I wanted more detail on the serial killers I'm more interested in! It was a little bit gruesome in parts but not enough to deter me!! Probably wouldn't choose again if I had the choice but not bad for the subject matter if it's what you are interested in.
Narration was good, easy to listen to - no annoying habits!

everything you've read already but in one place
pacey narration but without much feeling or sensation despite the story. overall nothing new or revelatory but still very interesting and a good reminder of the darker side to humanity

Good Introduction
Excellent introduction to the serial killers he covers and very well researched. However I feel sometimes he is just getting in to telling there story but then stops short, bit overall a good introduction.

ok but nothing new learned
my interest in true crime stems from psychological or social perspectives. this is ok but it just gives lots of facts, more like a general guide. it is read quite well, but I struggled to engage

Sort stories with average narrative
I think the stories were good but too short . Each case was desperately squeezed in few minutes review as if the author want to include in the book every serial killer ever existed.
Chapters not clearly divided . Easy to loose tract while one ends and next starts . Performance of the narrator not grate. Make the book very monotonous.
