Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI by Robert K. Ressler
5.0
I had a long, beautiful review typed out and my goodreads app decided to only pretend to publish it. -_- I'll try again...
So I read this book when I was very young. Early teens or before. Back when I still wanted to catch killers instead of write about fictitious ones. This. Book. Changed my life. It is what made me want to go into profiling rather than forensics. It is the reason I fell so hard for the show Criminal Minds (even though I know profilers don't actually do all the things they do on the show). I had already done research on a number of the cases he was involved in, and learning everything from a profiler's view was astounding. I was particularly intrigued by his interview with Manson. This book has sat with me over the years and it is really such a fantastic read. Especially for those interested in such a topic. Definitely one I highly recommend. Brilliant novel. Will read again.
