Summary: Superb!
Comment: John Douglas & Mark Olshaker hit another one out of the park.
I admit I feared repetition, since certainly, all that could've been said had to've been said in "Mindhunter" and "Journey into Darkness". To my pleasant surprise, any previous material and associated cases were treated --as the title suggests-- with a greater emphasis on the criminals' motives, keeping the reading fresh. Thrilling reading, tempered only by the fact that this is all about the suffering of innocent human beings at the hands of others who aren't. I highly recommend this book: 5 stars!!

Summary: More on Motive
Comment: Douglas takes a stunning number of cases to portray his point that a killer is not born - a killer is made. However, almost all of the cases exemplified are those he himself has been a part of. Whenever the book becomes informative, he suddenly delves into a life story or a pat-on-the-back for his life's achievements. Also, I am rather disappointed in his amateur use of language. He will scientifically explain a circumstance, then throw in a vulgarity; he interrupts his flow with his novice writing experience and in turn, makes the work very colloquial. If you are looking just to get a basis for circumstance, this is a good book, but if you are looking for something deeper, perhaps on the intermediate or advanced level of dealing with any form of forensic psychology, then this bombastic excuse is not for you.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent Read...Quick and Informative
Comment: Douglass gets back to business in this volume which is on par with Mindhunter (and far better than Journey into the Darkness). He maintains a tight focus on the Why? which leads us to the Who? in crime. He focuses on different kinds of criminals which keeps the narrative crackling and fascinating. I learned a great deal from this book. Great to see Douglass writing another fantastic book.
