Killing for Company: The Case of Dennis Nilsen by Brian Masters

4.0

Wow, just wow.
When I said I wanted to learn about murderers and what motivates them to commit their crimes, this book is precisely what I meant.
There are small paragraphs of Nielsen's background, particularly the information about Scotland that I felt were unnecessary, but most of it added to the reader's understanding of Nielsen's upbringing.
Whilst I spent most of the book shaking my head in disbelief, this was a crazy read that I couldn't stop. Masters is clearly fascinated by Nielsen and his crimes, and does an excellent job of getting into his mind. This book will stay with me longer after finishing it. Terrifying stuff.
