Now Reading... The Stranger Beside Me

Not sure how to start this Blog Post without sounding WAY strange. Am I the only person who finds the criminal mind interesting? Okay, not really just any criminal. I devour books about serial killers. What makes them tick? I don't think we'll ever know.

    I think I would be interested and fascinated to read this type of book. I often look at people and then realise we really don't know the real people behind the face we saw when we see them.
