Synopsis

What goes through the mind of a killer when they commit murder?

What motivates someone to take a life? How do murderers remember their lives and crimes? With unprecedented access to high-security prisons all around the country, the creators of Netflix's I Am a Killer set out to get answers to these questions—by talking to the killers themselves.

Most of the killers will die in prison, but each one speaks openly about their pasts and their crimes. Additional interviews—with the families of both perpetrators and victims and the law enforcement officials who worked the cases—reveal the constellations of factors that lead to violent crimes. Each profile features exclusive documents and commentary from the documentary producers to give a detailed and balanced account of the crime, leaving it up to listeners to decide what was right.

If you're a fan of this Netflix series then you'll enjoy this book. It was a good read but I was left wanting more. They say that they published a book for more detail but often I felt myself asking the question "why" or "what?" Overall, this was interesting and good but I just felt like they could'......more

Goodreads review by For The Love of books on October 20, 2023

3.5 ⭐️. Every year I like to read a book that challenges my thinking. This book certainly did that. It’s clear to see that unstable childhoods lie behind a lot of murders, that violence begets violence. In this book hearing the words of the people who had murdered someone was powerful when they told......more
