Ich Bin Profilereine Frau Auf Der Jagd Nach Serienkillern Und Psychopathen (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This book is at the awful end of the awful of awfulness spectrum. I couldn't even get past the opening chapter as she 'profiles' her guest lodger. It is when she gets to the police and states she is reporting a crime as a concerned citizen I groaned, then swore, then killed my pets (one of these is not correct). The only shining light is that I was given this book (by someone who clearly doesn't like me) and didn't have to pay for it. Anyone who has ever watched the animated sitcom "King of the Hill" will see a great many similarities between Pat Brown and Peggy Hill. Both are women with a tremendously inflated ego and sense of self worth, who rather than present facts and let those speak for themselves, instead gush on and on about how clever they are and that us gibbering neanderthals can never understand their genius.Peggy Hill could very well be an expy of Pat Brown in this regard. Brown presents profiles of the typical psychopath that any first-year student....hell, any schlub that ever watched an episode of CSI could put together. I had hoped that the book would focus more on actually hunting and making attempts to understand the mind of a psychopath, yet Brown gives her audience a ham-fisted psychological report while patting herself on the back for being clever enough to outwit and outsmart these men and women. I could barely make it all the way through the book without the bile rising to the back of my throat at the narcissism this woman exhibits. Two stars merely because some of the information presented is mildly interesting, and may be new news to newcomers of True Crime. Hardened true crime buffs should do very well to look elsewhere for more fulfilling fare.
