About this listen

 THE UK'S NO.1 MILLION COPY BESTSELLING TRUE CRIME AUTHOR - A PETRIFYING GLIMPSE INTO THE MOST EVIL MINDS OF OUR TIME...

'No one else does true crime quite like it,' Crime Monthly Magazine

'Terrifying and chilling... True crime at its best.' Daily Express

Unique and unheard audiotapes and video interviews with:

Aileen Wuornos
Arthur John Shawcross
Michael Bruce Ross

And many more...

Christopher Berry-Dee is the man who talks to serial killers. A world-renowned investigative criminologist, he has gained the trust of murderers across the world, entered their high security prisons, and discussed in detail their shocking crimes.

The killers' pursuit of horror and violence is described through the unique audiotape and videotape interviews which Berry-Dee conducted, deep inside the bowels of some of the world's toughest prisons.

Christopher Berry-Dee has collated these interviews into this astounding, disturbing book, which, since its first publication, has gone on to become a True Crime classic. Not only does he describe his meetings with some of the world's most evil men and women, he also reproduces, verbatim, their very words as they describe their crimes, allowing the reader a glimpse into the inner workings of the people who have committed the worst crime possible- to mercilessly take the life of another human being.©2019 Christopher Berry-Dee (P)2019 Bonnier Books Ltd Crime Murder Social Sciences True Crime

Amazing access to the minds and personas of these disturbed people. No holding back on anything here.
Whilst the American accents were a bit dodgy, overall the narrator did a good job.
If you like this type of subject matter then this is worth the time spent listening..

The best researched book of its type

While not revolutionary in its exploration of the serial killer phenomenon, this book is a worthy addition to any true crime aficionado’s collection. If you’re already well-versed in the history of these serial killers, you probably can’t expect to learn anything new, but it is still worth a listen.

I found the frequent mentions of how attractive the victims were to be a little grating, but I suppose he takes care to mention the appearance of the killers too. Overall, I could’ve done without the sensationalisation of what is already a dramatic enough topic.

The narrator’s work was rather annoying, unfortunately. He has a beautiful voice, but his attempt at an American accent was distracting (especially after getting to hear the ACTUAL voice of the killer, which was a real treat), and his mispronunciations of US Place names was too frequent to ignore. I’m Australian, and I found myself mentally correcting him every time he got it wrong.

Highly recommend listening to this book if you're curious of serial killers way of thinking and rationalising. highly recommend listening to The Last of Us Part II original soundtrack for the perfect eerie and cold feeling background music.

Creepy but fascinating

The Narrator ruined this for me, the one book by this author that is done by a different narrator is so much better to listen to.

Terrible Narrator

Excellent book, but definitely NOT for the feignt hearted, I couldn't envisage a fraction of what I heard today in my darkest nightmare. If you have a weak stomach this is NOT the book for you, seriously.

GRAPHIC

While an enthralling subject, this author is not at all in tune with his core audience. I know this was written in 2001, but it's 2020, and sex workers should not be referred to as 'hookers' or 'prostitutes', victims should not be blamed for their decision to walk home at night, serial killers should not be given the excuse of having a 'monster' inside them who does their dirty work while they take none of the responsibility and flipping John Money - the man who decided to castrate an injured twin boy, raise him as a girl and touted the success of the case as proof of nature over nurture in academic literature for years, resulting in BOTH the twins suicide (see: As Nature Made Him by John Colapinto) - should not, under any circumstances, be relied on as a credible source. Following all of this occurring within the first three chapters of the book, I returned it, unwilling to give time, energy or money to someone who is only interested in sensationalising these killers, often not even naming the victims, and seeming to revel in sickening descriptions of torture, murder and rape. No, thank you, I'm out.
