Eh, wasn’t bad…I liked Mindhunter a ton better. This one started out similar, but then suddenly devoted multiple chapters to a single crime out of no where and was kind of used to push an agenda. It’s not bad but it was a weird way to go halfway through the book. Still enjoyable, but I think
I’ll take a break from these for a bit. ( )

Follow the FBI's Premier Investigative Profiler as He Penetrates the minds and motives of the most terrifying serial criminals.

John Douglas's follow-up to the fascinating Mindhunter isn't quite as good, but still provides compelling reading for those interested in true crime stories, especially serial killers. Douglas, who pioneered profiling, is obviously bursting with knowledge -- this book's style, much like Mindhunter, is almost manic, reflecting Douglas's passionate desire to communicate the ugly realities of real murders and murderers.

One interesting note: Douglas does his own profile of the killer of two young people in a Brentwood, CA home in 1995 (i.e. Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman). His conclusion? The guilty party just might have been a former NFL star . . . . ( )

If you ever wanted to know how to profile a murder scene, you will learn it here. ( )

A good quick read but not as good as I had hoped. Meandered from topic to topic for a number of chapters. ( )
