Super interesting and informative for the first half. Then kind of started feeling repetitive and overly detailed, especially about female victims. And the author comes across as a little condescending.

This review will be very similar to the one I wrote for Whoever Fights Monsters by Robert Ressler (who worked with John Douglas for many years). The cases described in this book were very interesting, and the psychology behind profiling will be very fascinating for anyone interested in true crime. At times, Douglas's successes come off as self-indulgent - no one can possibly be right 100% of the time. But overall, I did really enjoy this read!
“More police and more courts and more prisons and better investigative techniques are fine, but the only way crime is going to go down is if all of us simply stop accepting and tolerating it in our families, our friends, and our associates. This is the lesson from other countries with far lower numbers than ours. Only this type of grassroots solution, in my opinion, will be effective. Crime is a moral problem. It can only be resolved on a moral level.”
