I enjoyed this, but by the time I got to War Crimes just now (the very last chapter), I was completely burnt out on this book. Not a lot stands out to me, except maybe the chapter on Military Murders. The best, of course, was undoubtedly the chapter on Serial Killers (it was also the longest in the book). I definitely prefer books that are about either specific serial killers or serial killers in general.

A common complaint here is that Colin Wilson wrote mostly of old cases from England. This is true. I guess you had to realise before you picked up the book that Wilson is from England. ( )
