Talking with Psychopaths: A Journey into the Evil Mind, Talking with Psychopaths

A chilling exploration into the psyche of real-life killers like Oscar Pistorius, Harold Shipman, Melanie Lyn McGuire, and Michael Bruce Ross.

For decades, renowned criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee has interviewed imprisoned, infamous serial killers and now he peels back the curtain, engaging with the psychiatrists tasked to understand their deviant minds.

As Berry-Dee dives deeper than ever before, he uncovers a disturbing pattern: the utter lack of remorse displayed by these individuals is often more horrifying than the crimes they’ve committed. Even more alarming, psychoanalysts admit that these murderers have an insidious ability to mask their true nature behind a facade of normalcy. Their behavior defies comprehension, even to the professionals who spend their livelihoods studying these aberrant minds.

With a gripping narrative and a wealth of research, Talking with Psychopaths: A Journey into the Evil Mind analyzes the darkest corners of the human brain. As Berry-Dee recounts his interviews, he exposes each layer of deception, seeking the best path to find the truth behind a psychopath’s mask.
