2025-03-18 13:04:01The Killer Across the Table by John E. Douglas is seriously unsettling in the best way. As a former FBI profiler, Douglas takes you inside the minds of some of the most notorious serial killers, sharing stories from his interviews with them. I couldn't put it down—it's not just about the crimes, but also how these killers think and what makes them tick. Douglas explains criminal behavior in such a compelling way, so even though the content is dark and disturbing, it kept me totally engaged. The way he breaks down each case and how law enforcement uses this kind of insight to solve crimes is fascinating. It’s a bit terrifying, but in a "you can't look away" kind of way. If you're into true crime, this book is a must-read—it’s raw, eye-opening, and will make you look at criminal psychology in a whole new light.

John Douglas, a former FBI profiler and the inspiration behind Mindhunter, takes readers through his interviews with four infamous murderers.
