Resumen del Editor

At the heart of countless crimes lie the mysteries of the human mind. In this eye-opening book, Dr. Cheryl Paradis draws back the curtain on the fascinating world of forensic psychology, and revisits the most notorious and puzzling cases she has handled in her multifaceted career.

Her riveting, sometimes shocking stories reveal the crucial and often surprising role forensic psychology plays in the pursuit of justice - in which the accused may truly believe their own bizarre lies, creating a world that pushes them into committing horrific, violent crimes.

Join Dr. Paradis in a stark concrete cell with the indicted as she takes on the daunting task of mapping the suspect's madness or exposing it as fakery. Take a front-row seat in a tense, packed courtroom, where her testimony can determine an individual's fate - or if justice will be truly served.

Interesting tidbits

Much ado about nothing, with moments of interesting perspective. Proof that "doctors" think they're the smartest in the room, yet can't agree.

Fascinating

This book dispelled many of the misconceptions I had about the insanity/diminished capacity plea. It was a fascinating and enjoyable listen. Not strictly a true crime book, but more an exploration case study of forensic psychology. Very indicative and interesting.

A Real and Informative Perspective!

Whether you are looking for more information about working cases as a forensic psychologist or just enjoy learning about crime in general, this is a very good read. Dr. Paradis definitely helps the reader to understand more about the insanity defense and why it may or may not be used. Sometimes I find it difficult to find books that are real without being super sensational about the crimes and the individuals responsible.
I also think Callie Beaulieu did a good job serving as the narrator and reflecting Dr. Paradis's story accurately.

Interesting

The forensic psychologist does more than simple interviews. Fully studying many background details. The case narratives of held my attention. Light reading but an interesting short book.

Due to a massive mistake in the book

Just no!

I stopped reading this after about 5 minutes.

First of all the introduction to the book is to put it mildly boring.

And secondly when the author doesn’t have her facts straight that’s just a NO GO.

The man who shot John Lennon was Mark David Chapman and not John Chapman as the author claims.

When I read a book like this I expected there has been some amount of proofreading before the book is released therefore a mistake like this is not acceptable in my world.
