About this listen

 Forensic psychiatrist Donald Grant asks, what is it about murder that fascinates us? Is it the chill whisper of fear reminding us we too can kill? Grant describes ten true murder cases, each with unique triggers. For most of us, murder is an arm's length experience, close enough to frighten and fascinate yet far enough not to traumatise. For those directly affected, murder can be scarring. Our restless chatter about murder, our state of heightened alert, our endless appetite for news, may all just be play therapy, reassuring us that our own killer instincts are under control.©2018 Donald A. Grant (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Crime Murder Social Sciences True Crime

‘It is a terrifying insight into the killer within ... more compelling than any crime fiction, Killer Instinct should be required reading, for it reveals how the line between good and evil lies very close to home.’ (Dan Box)
