Five facts to help you tune your skepticism meter when it comes to reading suspense novels (or memoirs!) about glib, charming, remorseless, callous, deceitful, frequently violent predators
The number of times I LOLed reading this piece. "The latter person…is not someone you should date." This was so good, even after we'd exchanged about thirty minutes of voice notes about it! I would LOVE you to do a follow-up piece after the memoir comes out and you've had a chance to read.
I loved the show "Mindhunter" which was about the very beginning of efforts to build profiles using psychological data. And to build the profiles, the detectives (or FBI guys, I guess, actually) had to interview actual serial killers who were in prison (while at the same time, trying to catch a serial killer, in Kansas City, I think). It was a good show - also useful for its historicism--1970s and early 1980s. Not that long ago, in the scheme of things.
OK, I really need to watch that show. Especially interesting to compare what they say FBI does and discovers versus what the FBI really does, according to the stuff one can find online. And I love that it's set in the past!

I'm pretty sure it was only 19 minutes of voice notes. KIDDING!
