Ratings and reviews

Scarily detailed and creepily fascinating insight into the crimes of the world's most prolific serial killers. Not for the faint hearted! A great read if you can stomach it. I loved it.

not very much detail, more of a starting point for some of the lesser known names, probably don't pay full price, you would be better off going over to youtube to check out a podcast called lil stinkers

A little longer than it should have been at times which made it a tough read. Good, just not as enthralling as it could have been.
