Inside The Mind of . . . . (serial killers)

A series of books that looks into the mind of serial killers from the USA, UK and Australia.

Rose West: Wife, Mother, Monster - 9781802472684

Rose West was, on the face of it, a typical mother living with her husband, Fred, and their children in a three-storeyed terraced house in Gloucester. But behind the building’s modest facade, 25 Cromwell Street was the scene of truly terrible crimes, an authentic House of Horror.

Ivan Milat: Backpacker Killer - 9781802473377 

Ivan Milat’s killing spree through the Australian outback left a trail of terror and cemented his legacy as one of the most ruthless serial killers in history. Targeting young backpackers seeking adventure, Milat turned the idyllic Belanglo State Forest into a nightmare, brutally murdering at least seven travellers. This book unravels the shocking details of Milat’s brutality, the relentless investigation that brought him to justice, and the cultural effects that turned his story into both a cautionary tale and a dark fascination for true crime fans.

Jeffrey Dahmer: The Cannibal Killer - 9781913543310  

Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer murdered and dismembered seventeen boys and men. But he is most notorious for what happened to his victims after their grisly deaths and the shocking depravity that led to Dahmer being dubbed the ‘Milwaukee Cannibal’.

Using his long experience and psychological expertise, Berry-Dee seeks to understand the motivation, the amoral urges and the merciless horror behind Dahmer's inhuman behaviour: what could make a man do this?

Ted Bundy: Stalker, Psychopath, Killer - 9781802472714  

Ted Bundy, a failed law student and lone drifter, raped and murdered at least thirty girls and young women in five different US states.

Despite his apparent charm and intelligence and seemingly normal relationships with women, he conducted a brutal killing spree between 1974 and 1978. This was the decade during which ‘criminal profiling’ was initially developed and the term ‘serial killer’ was first used by law-enforcement agencies.

Joseph James DeAngelo: Golden State Killer - 9781802473384  

This book uncovers the behind-the-scenes work that led to the identification of DeAngelo, bringing an end to his reign of terror and changing the process of criminal investigation forever.

With thrilling insights into the science of familial DNA, this book is a must-read for fans of Making a Murderer and The Jinx. True crime buffs won’t want to miss this deep dive into one of the most astonishing criminal cases of the 21st century, combining cutting-edge forensic science with a truly evil villain.

John Wayne Gacy: Real-Life Killer Clown - 9781802470765  

Gacy lured victims to his home with the promise of work or a warm bed and then duped them into putting on handcuffs, claiming he wanted to show them a magic trick. He would then rape and torture his victims before killing them by suffocating or strangling them.

Twenty-six were buried in the crawl space beneath his home; others were buried elsewhere on his property, while a handful were dumped in the Des Plaines River.

Gacy was executed for his crimes in 1994, but many questions remain unanswered. How many victims were there? Did Gacy act alone? And what drove John Wayne Gacy to murder? What caused the seemingly normal Gacy to sexually assault, torture and murder at least thirty-three young men and boys?
