Talking With Psychopaths and Savages - A journey into the evil mind: A chilling study of the most cold-blooded, manipulative people on planet earth

A great book for true crime lovers, and a look at how wacky some prisoners are. It's also funny, but respectful of the victims and there families . I loved it .

As a student of Criminology, this book helped a lot. It provides excellent case study material of the criminals who were interviewed by Christopher.It’s quite a lengthy read and is very informative and interesting. Definitely worth your time.

Christopher Berry-Dee has been severely criticised by some readers of Talking with Psychopaths and Savages for presenting himself as arrogant, full of self-praise and even accused of being narcissistic. This may well be true, and I sincerely hope the author is not offended by this, he may well agree!But would an unassuming, self-effacing personality have had the success that CBD had in out manipulating the manipulators when extracting vital information from some of the world's most heinous serial offenders when they had nothing to gain by revealing what law-enforcement agencies had failed to do.In this book, we read about his 'fishing' strategy to massage their egos and find a way in. In some cases, he would seek common ground, an interest, which the offender would profess to be 'expert' and use this to peel back onion-like protective layers of false truths, false personas, to get to what the justice system and victims families needed to know.Christopher Berry-Dee is no ordinary psychologist and we need more like him to understand the minds of these predatory people, unlike some psychiatrists who have released murderers deeming them 'unlikely to kill again,' at the cost of the loss of more innocent lives.A praiseworthy, fascinating book that gives insight into the minds of psychopaths and savages and the good and the bad of how legal and healthcare professionals deal with them.

Christopher Berry-Dee is my absolute favourite true crime author. He tells is as it is and pulls no punches when it comes to the horrors serial killers inflict on their victim's.Using plain language he still, unbelievably, manages to inject humour into his work. Understandable given the lengths he goes to for his material.I look forward to the next one with macabre delight.

Super interesting and exciting to read, from someone who has so much experience. Well written and extremely informative.

His other books are better

I’m not sure what the rest of you were reading but this is a great read and that I can see the spelling mistakes are due to exact quotes being used. A few things from his other book have been used but are entirely relevant, don’t go with the masses, if you enjoyed Talking with Serial Killers you will like this....

Amazing read couldn’t put it down
