Summary
FROM THE NO.1 MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING TRUE CRIME AUTHOR
In the aftermath of Nurse Lucy Letby's conviction in August 2023 for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others, cold-blooded killings by some of the most trusted professionals are a subject of very real public concern. The subject is also extremely topical, with massive media coverage.
In Talking with Serial Killers: Murderous Medics, No.1 bestselling author, Christopher Berry-Dee focuses his forensic spotlight on the phenomenon of murders committed by doctors and other medical professionals, including the child-killing nurses Beverly Allitt and Lucy Letby, and Dr Harold Shipman, the UK's most prolific serial killer.

The name of the book is "talking with serial killers", that's TALKING, it can be done face to face, over the phone, letters, texts etc. basically communicating. This will make sense shortly. In his other books, he has letters from prisoners, tape recordings, and interview notes. Thats because he talked to them. We heard their actual voices in the other audio books because the author went and spoke to them. But I am pretty sure of the 16 subjects, he didn't TALK with 15 of them.
He has about 8 chapters of people who died 50-150 years ago. So how do people who were scuttling about in the 1850s killing people get in the book? How was he TALKING with them? Seance? Does he have immortality? He a vampire? The author never reported any of these or him being over 200 years old.
Some of the people in this book are not serial killers. The author incorrectly sites the FBI definition as: the unlawful killing of three or more victims by the same offender in separate events. So 4-5 of the chapters are about doctors killing their families/people in one night and being called serial killers is wrong. So some shouldn't be in the book for 2 reasons now.
This book was published in 2025. In 2005, the FBI changed the definition and then published it in 2008. The definition is: the unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s) in separate events.
So, killing 2/3 or more in one short period does not make you a serial killer. It makes you a "spree killer."
The only bit of "talking" he does with anyone from what I remember in this book is 1 blunt reply letter from Shipman.
One of the most infuriating scams he did was due to the book cover and description. She is dead center on the cover, and the description on Amazon and Audible are just "Lucy Lucy Lucy". So why does he insinuate she had a big part with that marketing?
They make you think he went and talked to Lucy Letby and we would have new information and a good interview. He never talked to her, and we got a 20-minute chapter that he starts off with saying, "There isn't much to be said about Lucy Letby," and only uses ¾ of her chapter on her.
Another annoying thing he does repeatedly, is ironically, repeating information. Whilst in the chapter of person "A," he will pretty much talk about person "Gs" life entirely but, but "G" is in the book later. Then he will get to person "Gs" chapter, he repeats all what he said again from person "A" then talks about persons "A", "B", and "Cs" lifes. He does this a hell of a lot. I lost count of the number of times he mentioned Dr John Bodkin Adams. He is in half the chapters easily and was once mentioned 3 chapters in a row.
Second to lastly, he repeats useless stuff again and again. He will explain the name of the ATF in full multiple times and explain what they do in detail every time he does. Any person who has done one English class will know you explain it fully when it first comes up, then keep it short after that.
Finally, the author says something utterly stupid, something to the effect of "i would have included more people, but the word count dictates i can't." he also mentions audible being a restrictive entity This is BS. it's a book man. It can be as long as you want. The lengthiest thing on Audible is 264 hours 38 minutes.
The author is full of lies and this 9 hour book, only really has 4 hours of information, the other 5 is repeated information
The author is a liar.
