It was fascinating to hear from the perspective of the victims and the prevalence of serial killers across time

Really good summary and a focus on victims

This book is a very important book into the topic of British serial killers. The author points out, with over 130 years of serial killers, there's vulnerable sets of people in our communities that are more likely to become targets of serial murderers. This book brings our attention to the victims of these truly terrible crimes and helps to point out that we should all shine a btighter light into vulnerable groups to make it more difficult for these predators to be able to repeat their actions.

A superb insight into a very complex issue

I really, really enjoyed this book. It provides a refreshing new perspective on understand why the certain identified group of victims are targeted, so that we may approach stopping serial killers from this angle. It was really eye-opening to think about it this way, and I thought Wilson wrote and spoke about these issues sensitively and informatively.
