THE MIND OF A MURDERER, written and read by Richard Taylor - audiobook extract
'Whodunnit' doesn't matter so much, not to a forensic psychiatrist. We're more interested in the 'why'.\n\nIn his 26 years in the field, Richard Taylor has worked on well over a hundred murder cases, with victims and perpetrators from all walks of life. In this fascinating memoir, Taylor draws on some of the most tragic, horrific and illuminating of these cases - as well as dark secrets from his own family's past - to explore some of the questions he grapples with every day:\n\nWhy do people kill?\nDoes committing a monstrous act make someone a monster?\nCould any of us, in the wrong circumstances, become a killer?\n\nAs Taylor helps us understand what lies inside the minds of his patients, using their own words to tell their stories, he presents us with the most important challenge of all: how can we find common humanity, even in the darkest of human deeds - and why it is so vital that we try?\n\nThe Mind of a Murderer is a fascinating exploration into the psyche of killers, as well as a unique insight into the life and mind of the doctor who treats them. For fans of Unnatural Causes, The Examined Life and All That Remains.
