Really candid look at the life of an FBI profiler as well as many good references for books from other experts in the field of criminology. As a student who is studying forensic psychology and writing papers on the psychopathy and sociopathy, he also references studies I can look up to read and cite in my assignments.

I did not get this as a replacement to Goleman’s book but rather to supplement it. I found it helped me retain more from the book from one read.

Nikki lives in cosmopolitan West London, where she tends bar at the local pub. The daughter of Indian immigrants, she's spent most of her 20-odd years distancing herself from the traditional Sikh community of her childhood, preferring a more independent (that is, Western) life. When her father's death leaves the family financially strapped, Nikki, a law school dropout, impulsively takes a job teaching a "creative writing" course at the community center in the beating heart of London's close-knit Punjabi community.

Suffered through the whole book

I bought this book because it was on Reese Witherspoon’s book club list. I thought it probably had some hidden depth that wasn’t apparent in the book description. Well, any depth this book had was so well hidden I never found it! The writing was immature and the plot was not much better. I did listen to the entire book. I kept waiting for it to get better. It finally became interesting in the last 2-3 chapters. Honestly, I listened to it so long ago I forgot about it until going through my library today. I’m not sure if there is a time limit on returns but I will definitely be trying tonight!

Abridging this makes it almost pointless.

Short and self-serving
Reviewed: 08-07-18
I've read/ listened to many forensic psychology books. This book seems to subtly correct perceived injustices to the author which is usually credit for an idea. I found Kessler's book much more informative, unbiased, and more "case by case" examples.

The dead talk - to the right listener. They can tell us all about themselves: where they came from, how they lived, how they died, and, of course, who killed them. Forensic scientists can unlock the mysteries of the past and help serve justice using the messages left by a corpse, a crime scene, or the faintest of human traces.

Brilliantly written
Reviewed: 10-16-16
This was a thorough and well written book. While suitable for the academic, it was not dry reading. The dense detail was broken up nicely. I'll listen to it again I'm sure.
