miche29 's review for:
Criminal Minds: Sociopaths, Serial Killers, and Other Deviants
by Jeffrey J. Mariotte
dark
informative
fast-paced
This is an authorized tie-in to the popular TV show Criminal Minds and defines the types of criminals that the team profiles against real-life examples. The book is organized by the different types, including solo serial killers, sexual predators, and killers with famous victims.
What I loved...
📚 Criminal Minds is one of my absolute favorite TV shows so finally finding an authorized tie-in was absolutely thrilling for me!! I've also had an ongoing fascination with serial killers and understanding their motivation so any book with reasonable reviews will catch my attention.
What I didn't love...
📚 Using the word tie-in was very generous. The references to the TV show was primarily indicating which episodes certain killers had been mentioned. My initial thought is that the episodes would've been compared against the actions of the real life killers.
📚 The analysis of the real life killers was a bit monotonous... their motivation, their crimes and their ultimate downfall. Reading similar stories repeatedly started to become very repetitive
