An Amazing and Eye-Opening Book

The criminal mind is a mysterious, dark place that is questioned by many. Kiel takes us through his journey of learning about these people, sharing his studies and findings with the reader. I've been able to refer people to The Psychopath Whisperer during debates, as well recommending it to people that just want an interesting read. I feel that everyone should read this book, or at the very least look into Kiehl's studies, especially if they are interested in criminal psychology.
