This was certainly an interesting read, quite disturbing at times and Britton definitely casts himself in a undeniably biased positive light if one reads the book with an understanding of the Colin Stagg fiasco.

Interestingly, Stagg has since been completely vindicated by DNA testing which conclusively proved Robert Napper (whose case also appears in this book) was the perpetrator, yet in a failure of criminal profiling, in this very book Britton writes that it is not possible for the same killer to have done both crimes as they are so different.

Overall, despite being dated by the above events which occurred a decade after the book was published it is still an disturbing insight into numerous other crimes that Britton was involved in developing profiles for.

I would recommend this for anyone with an interest in true crime or psychopathology. ( )

I won this book from a giveaway from this site. This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed reading it. It had a good variety of characters in it. It would make a good pay tv movie. ( )
