Review: The Evil That Men Do: FBI Profiler Roy Hazelwood's Journey into the Minds of Serial Killers

The Evil That Men Do: FBI Profiler Roy Hazelwood's Journey into the Minds of Serial Killers by Stephen G. Michaud
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You won't find my doors and windows unlocked anymore... This guy, an FBI agent in the Behavioral Science Unit, studied rapists, murderers, and all manner of depravity. In this book he takes you a bit deeper into the horrors of the crimes than you might want to go. Unless you're me, I love depravity!

From the well known stories like the psycho who committed the Atlanta Child Murders to lesser known deviants in small town Nebraska, the terror you'll learn about is fascinating and terrifying. If you love True Crime, this is a must read.

Review: In Cold Blood

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this when I was pretty young and I think it's probably responsible for my addiction to all things murder mystery. It's disturbing because it's true and it happened at a time when that kind of thing didn't happen as often as today. Truman Capote himself was very interesting and I wanted to learn all I could about him after reading this book.

Review: Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three

Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three by Mara Leveritt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was drawn to this story because it happened in Arkansas - where I'm from. I attended lectures by the forensic pathologist who autopsied the boys' bodies and by the lawyer for Jessie Misskelly. It's a very interesting story and it might just piss you off.
