ninaz 's review for:

In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End in Murder by Jane Monckton-Smith

5.0

---

What a fantastic yet horrifyingly concerning book; finished in a weekend. I feel everyone should read this to be able to recognise warning signs for themselves and friends/family/colleagues. It should be required reading for judges in family court. A very comprehensive look at domestic abuse and homicide via the 8 stages of coercive control. My only gripe is how many times the words ‘coercive control’ feature in the book. This is especially noticeable in the audiobook.

Doesn’t take away from how important this read is though!
