Would you know if you lived next door to a serial killer? Emma Kenny, psychologist and true crime expert, reveals the chilling true stories of killers who hide in plain sight.

Taking readers on a journey into the dark side of humanity, Emma Kenny explores the ingredient list of experiences that turns regular people into murderous monsters, looking at crimes that shook the world.

From Ted Bundy to Joanna Dennehy, Richard Trenton Chase to Aileen Wuornos and many more besides, Emma explores the crime scenes and criminal minds of some of the most notorious serial killers of our time. She also unveils shocking stories of lesser-known killers that even the most dedicated true crime fan will be surprised by.

What unites all of these killers is the ability to slip into society. They look just like you and me. Some were married or parents, conscientious neighbours, teachers, or fixtures of their community. Join Emma in this compelling exposΓ© of their depraved world to understand what motivates them and what they look for in a victim. Then, maybe you'll be able to spot the serial killer next door.
