It was good. It was sad but very informative. I might look into some of the other books he wrote.

As usual it’s always fascinating to have a peek inside the mind of John Douglas, the original Mind Hunter. That being said, the story of Larry Gene Bell isn’t my favourite true crime story and it is one I’ve read a lot about so I wasn’t as interested as his other books but it’s still a good read nonetheless!

This was so packed full of detail and it was incredibly interesting to read from a profiler’s perspective. I love true crime in general and this really gave me what I had been looking for. However, I am slightly concerned that there may be a bias in this. If there is, I don’t feel it’s overly obvious.

Riveting. True crime stories are simultaneously fascinating and horrific. I’ve read quite a few, but the writing in John Douglas’s books is captivating. He tells the whole story from before the crime to well beyond the aftermath providing details you didn’t know you wanted.
