I think this has become one of my favourite true crime books. The level of attention to detail that went into this book is huge, with the bibliography and notes section showing just how much research went into writing it.

So many emotions were provoked, and my brain worked hard to try to understand Graham's mindset and rationale. Ultimately he was a boy that let his interests with poison overshadow any morals or thoughts for human life he may have ever had.

*Its like I had a drug problem, only I was not the one taking the drugs*

This book also gives a lot of insight into the developments of understanding mental health over the last 60 years, and how we treat mental health patients/ mentally ill criminals. From the overcrowding and poor conditions in high secure units such as broadmoor, to the issues with assessing the suitability for discharge.
