Bestselling writer and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee has spent a long time in the minds of serial killers and now turns his attention to perhaps the most notorious of them all for Inside The Mind Of Jeffrey Dahmer. Dahmer murdered and mutilated 17 boys in a 13-year reign of terror between 1978 and 1991; some of the later murders would also include acts of necrophilia and cannibalism.
Berry-Dee is considered to be one of the forefront specialists in his field, having previously delved into the minds of Ian Brady and Peter Sutcliffe – to name just two – as well as working with the FBI, and has a knack for unlocking their innermost thoughts to discover just what it is, that makes them tick. The result in this instance is a fascinating and sometimes disturbing insight into Dahmer’s way of thinking.
Declared legally sane at his trial, pertinent questions – did he intend to kill? Did he realise the consequences of his actions? – are answered in grim detail as Berry-Dee holds your hand, on a no-holds-barred walk through the criminal mind. There must be thousands of books out there that have attempted to unlock Dahmer’s thoughts, so you’d assume you wouldn’t need another, but nobody does it as well as Christopher Berry-Dee.
