Summary: Another hit from the FBI guys
Review: I find these books very interesting and informative about not only the criminals but also the work that goes into actually catching criminals. As a victim advocate, I have often been amazed that law enforcement ever manages to catch anyone...due to lack of funding, resources, and cooperation among districts not due to anyone's efforts or capabilities. Hazelwood, Douglas, and the rest of these guys have been able to track down, apprehend, and actually study/interview some of the most infamous killers in this country. Any of these books are a good read for true crime or forensic fans.

Summary: Mesmerizing
Review: I have been hoping that Mr. Hazelwood would someday write a book. I have heard so many good things about him in my reading and was looking forward to getting the info from an expert. He did not disappoint. It is a wonderfully written book that is so engrossing it was hard to put down. If this is your area of interest this is a must read.

Summary: Long Time Fan of BOTH Hazelwood and Michaud
Review: I have read the works of both Roy Hazelwood and Stephen Michaud, and have great admiration for both of their works. This collaborative effort is marketed to the broader true crime audience and does a good job of imparting how profiling evolved over the years, gives case studies which help to illustrate the process, and insights into where it is going. Making the shift, for both, to this collaborative style... was at times, a lil ackward.IF you want more... look to Roy Hazelwood's recently released "Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation (third edition)," a more scholarly presentation of the topic. .... He is a gifted teacher, who shares and gives freely in the classroom. Stephen Michaud's joint effort, "The Only Living Witness," with Hugh Aynesworth, is, without hesitation, one of the most remarkable true crime books of all time. This is not another shallow retelling from newspaper clippings. Their in-depth investigative skills, outreach and interaction with one of the most notorious of serial killers, is what ALL true crime writers should learn from and aspire to. Their follow-up, "Conversations With a Killer," is another must-read. For those of you that have not read "Lethal Shadow," add it to your list. This is by far the most insightful reading about a sexual sadist you will ever encounter. ....

Summary: Nothing to write home about
Review: I was pretty unimpressed with this book. Very little time is spent on the actual crimes and the people that commit them. Most of the book is about Roy Hazelwood and how he grew up, got into the FBI, etc. The book title should have been something along the lines of "All you ever wanted to know about Roy Hazelwood and then some".

Summary: Can do without
Review: It is a shame that Stephen Michaud let Roy Hazelwood contribute to this book. If Stephen Michaud would have done it alone, I think it would have been great. Unfortunately that was not the case. For those who have not read Roy Hazelwood's work, let me explain that it has been my experience as hard core criminology and profile researcher, that his books are more about him and his ego (if you will) then the subject itself. Roy Hazelwood needs to concentrate on setting constructive examples of his very broad and interesting experience...yet we only get information from him like we are reading a resume. Other then that, The book has some good information, but if you have other books from Stephen Michaud, you will see some repetition. Not a must.

Summary: A brilliant study of profiling killers
Review: Look at a few clues at a murder scene and be able to tell the gender, age and mindset of the killer? Years ago, many would have said, "Ridiculous." But the science (is it an art?) of profiling has evolved into a finely-honed skill, and "The Evil That Men Do" explains the process like no other book. While many news reports, magazines and books have included criminal profiling in their subject matter, few have ever disclosed how it is done. "The Evil That Men Do" tells the whys and hows, using well-known real-life cases as illustrations. Roy Hazelwood's background and insider status qualify him to disclose what all of us have wanted to know about profiling a killer simply from studying a murder scene with a trained eye and mind. It's fascinating and logical, even though the minds behind the crimes derive their logic from the dark side. Stephen G. Michaud brings his years of unparallelled crime writing to this excellent work, placing you in the middle of numerous famous and not-so-famous murder cases. Could you tell anything about the killer? To answer that, "The Evil That Men Do" allows you to try your own hand at profiling. See how you stack up against the pros. When you're done reading this one, you'll cast a much more knowledgable eye on any future murder investigation you read about or see on TV.

Summary: Less Than Stellar
Review: Reads like hearsay testimony which would have been more compelling hearing it directly from Roy Hazelwood. If you have heard Roy speak in person as I have, this is a re-hash at best. Buy it used or better yet, borrow it.

Summary: A Law Enforcement Must Read
Review: Roy Hazelwood is clearly tops in the field of Sexual Criminal Profiling. There is a wealth of knowledge that can be gleened from this mans vast experiences. The book is broken up into a number of fasinating chapters each of which hold the readers attention from start to finish. He has managed to reveal enough about the skill used to profile the Sexual Predator with out making this a "how to" book on how to avoid detection. Hazelwood appears to be a far more humble man than his former partner John Douglas. (Mind Hunter). As a Law enforcement officer you can't help but appreciate the pace and detail of this book. Everything form DAHMER to ZODIAC KILLERS is touched on. A talent like Roy Hazelwood comes along once in a blue moon. Don't miss out. Your Library isn't complete without This Book !

Summary: Decent
Review: Roy Hazelwood is probably one, if not the, foremost authority on sexual crimes. I enjoyed reading his book, but instead of having Michaud write the book, he should have asked old friend John Douglas to borrow Mark Olshaker. Michaud's style doesn't give you the feel of the stories Hazelwood has to tell. Nonetheless, it is worth purchasing to add to one's true crime library.
