The Killer Across the Table Unlocking the Secrets of Serial Killers and Predators with the FBI Original Mindhunter edition by John E Douglas Mark Olshaker Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews

• Last week I finished reading The Killer Across The Table, by world renowned FBI criminal profiler John Douglas (The Mindhunter) and Mark Olshaker. Douglas examines four notorious serial killers in his latest well-written and thought-provoking book.
  
  No, I’m not talking about Ted Bundy or the BTK Strangler, though, they are briefly mentioned in the book as a comparison to Joseph Kondo, Donald Harvey, Todd Kohlepp and Joseph McGowan.
  
  Douglas sat with each killer, interviewing and profiling them, in the mean time, striving to learn their motivations behind their behavior and desire to kill.
  
  After twenty years at the FBI, Douglas was one of the first to begin advocating for interviewing serial killers to gain useful insights that could help him and others in shaping profiles of murders.
  
  He practically wrote the FBI book on criminal profiling. I was amazed at how accurate and spot on his profiling could be. By just reading the police files, murder book and investigation notes, Douglas puts together a detail and accurate profile of who the police should be looking at.
  
  I found the book to be an exhilarating read, not so much for the killers profiled, although, that was interesting too, but for Douglas’ profiling methodology.
  
  Thank you Net Galley and Harper Collins for providing me with the ARC for an honest review
