Would definitely recommend this book. Dr Shepherd seems like a great man and I respect him very much after reading this. I feel like I played a small but important role in his story just by reading this book. I’m so glad I did, I loved how clinical it was but also included personal life. Great book, 5 Stars.

I absolutely loved this book, despite the ‘big book fear’ i absolutely loved this one. i perhaps have an unhealthy interest in true crime but this left me satisfied that i’d understood the complexities of the cases from a pathological perspective. Admittedly a little graphic at times but i fear without this the enormity of Dr Shepard’s work and career would be lost on the reader. thoroughly interesting and enjoyable.
