This book was so incredibly moving and full of hope and empathy. It makes you think so much more critically about what we could be doing to help incarcerated people and how important therapy can be in untangling violent behaviors.

I never rate non fiction as how can I when it’s so personal but this was an unreal read so interesting with an amazing insight to forensic psychiatry

I really liked this book: a sympathetic representation of people who have committed terrible crimes, many of whom are dubbed 'monsters'. Each chapter is a different case study a d I was absorbed by all of them. It's thought provoking and occasionally provocative, asking the reader to open their minds to uncomfortable views and truths. Her conclusion is that we need a more preventative system based on helping those who are already sign posted as being potential murderers etc. The only part of the book I didn't like where the insincere references to literature; it felt so tagged on and I wondered if it was something the co author added on?
