Killer Instinct
Killer Instinct: Having a mind for murder | Donald Grant
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Forensic psychiatrist Donald Grant asks, what is it about murder that fascinates us? Is it the chill whisper of fear reminding us we too can kill? Grant describes ten true murder cases, each with unique triggers. For most of us, murder is an arm's length experience, close enough to frighten and fascinate yet far enough not to traumatise. For those directly affected, murder can be scarring. Our restless chatter about murder, our state of heightened alert, our endless appetite for news, may all just be play therapy, reassuring us that our own killer instincts are under control.

A fascinating book featuring 10 Australian murders written from the perspective of a forensic psychologist. One of the best true crime books I have read in the way it delves into how mental illness can be a driving force in some murders. A must read for fans of true crime and anyone with an interest in criminal psychology. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #donaldgrant #killerinstincthavingamindformurder #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads #litsy #thestorygraph #bookstagram
