Redhanded

An Exploration of Criminals, Cannibals, Cults, and What Makes a Killer Tick

De: Suruthi Bala, Hannah Maguire

Narrado por: Denise Mina, Hannah Maguire, Suruthi Bala

Features an audiobook exclusive interview: Suruthi and Hannah interview award-winning author Denise Mina on 'the less dead', equality and bigotry in crime, the justice system and the media.

The highly anticipated book from the UK's number one true-crime podcast, Redhanded!

What is it about killers, cults and cannibals that capture our imaginations even as they terrify and disturb us? How do we carefully consume these cases, and what can they teach us about what makes victims and their murderers our collective responsibility?

Redhanded rejects the outdated narrative of killers as monsters and that a victim 'was just in the wrong place at the wrong time'. Instead, it dissects the stories of killers in a way that challenges perceptions and asks the hard questions about society, gender, poverty, culture and even our politics.

With Bala and Maguire's trademark humour, research on real-life cases and unflinching analysis of what makes a criminal, the authors take you through the societal, behavioural and cultural drivers of the most extreme of human behaviour to find out once and for all: what makes a killer tick?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Is it weird to say "a good time"?

If you've listened to the show, or are fan of any other true crime podcasts, you've probably heard of most people. Here, you'll get to hear a more in depth reflection on what common patterns can be found, on what things mean when looked at through a societal lens.
If you are a newbie true crime listener? Don't worry. You won't be left stranded. The cases and names referred to will be explained.
