How to Catch a Killer
How to Catch a Killer: Hunting and Capturing the World's Most Notorious Serial Killers | Katherine Ramsland
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Every account of catching a serial killer is different. Sometimes, the killers make crucial mistakes; other times, investigators get lucky. And the process of profiling and apprehending these predators has changed radically over time, from laser ablation to video spectral analysis to DNA-based genetic genealogy. In this fascinating book, the history of forensics unfolds through the "capture stories" of some of the most notorious serial killers, going back almost a century.

If you read true crime, you might like this book. But if you‘ve read a lot of true crime then most of these killers will be known to you and the details of their crimes will already be familiar. Fair warning: graphic explanation of murders in this book mean it‘s not for the squeamish. Four stars.
