About this listen

Home is where the heart is. But home is also the most common site for murder. This grimly fascinating book from the UK's leading criminologist David Wilson uncovers the dangers that exist where we least expect them - perfect for fans of The Dark Side of the Mind and The Mind of a Murderer.

The home is the place where murder most commonly occurs. In England and Wales, each year on average 75 per cent of female murder victims and 39 per cent of murdered men are killed at home.

This gripping new title from the author of My Life with Murderers and A Plot to Kill explores the tragic prevalence of domestic murder and how, for so many victims, their own home is the place they are most in danger.

David Wilson is the UK's leading criminologist and his knowledge of murder is unparalleled. By walking through each part of the house, he explains how each room's purpose has changed over time, the weapons they contain, and ultimately, how these things combine in murder.

Delving into infamous as well as lesser-known true crime cases, this examination of the tragic, ordinary nature of murder is both a chilling listen and a startling insight into the everyday impact of violence and how it can touch us all.

I bought this after watching David Wilson give an interview on itv. I wouldn't normally go for this subject matter, but it promised a different viewpoint on murder and i wasn't disappointed. David has an easy to listen to voice and far from sensationalising murder, David encourages the listener to think for themselves as he guides us around the house with his selection of murder cases. It's a book i will listen to again.
