About this listen

The terrifying story of the most monstrous serial killers through history.

Serial killers are the most notorious and disturbing of all criminals, representing the very darkest side of humanity. Yet they endlessly fascinate and continue to capture the public's attention with their strange charisma and deadly deeds. From Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy and the Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, these killers transfix us with their ability to commit utterly savage acts of cruelty and depravity.

Only with modern police detection methods and psychological profiling have these figures that have existed throughout human history finally been identified in the deadliest category: serial killers. These methods, the killers' characters and their crimes are described here in fascinating and terrifyingly gripping detail. The whole history of serial killers is brought to life in 50 chapters, including:

  • Herman Webster Mudgett
  • Devil in the White City
  • John Christie
  • The 10 Rillington Place Murders
  • The Zodiac Killer
  • Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the Moors Murderers
  • Ted Bundy
  • Fred and Rosemary West

Gave a brief summary of a number of murders and their crimes, I don’t know what about it wasn’t engaging, probably good for someone new to the world of true crime as a starting point but lots of stuff in it that people with an interest in these individuals and crimes would have heard before. Found myself drifting out a lot with this.

Informative but dull

Excellent introduction to the serial killers he covers and very well researched. However I feel sometimes he is just getting in to telling there story but then stops short, bit overall a good introduction.
