Product Description
Review
'They say "better the devil you know" but after reading this, I think I would prefer to stick with the angels. Thoroughly enjoyed The Devil You Know and it has made me look a little more carefully at the people around me.'
(Lynda Bellingham )Product Description
How many times have you despaired about how to handle your psycho boss or listened to your friend talk about how their dream date turned out to be a bit of a psychopath? It's far from just a turn of phrase, psychopaths aren't all serial killers or criminals as you might expect, they are seemingly ordinary people too. In fact around 3% of the general population have strong psychopathic tendencies.
The devil you know may be in disguise. So how do you know if someone close to hand isn't quite who they seem? The psycho in your life could be your lover, your child, your colleague, your friend or the hot new date you've met on the internet. In The Devil You Know, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes explains the psyche of a psychopath, she reveals the behavioural traits they share in common and she gives advice on how to handle them - or better still, how to avoid them at all costs.
Using research and high profile case studies, The Devil You Know will help you spot the psycho in your life.
The only question is: can you afford not to read this book?

Very, very funny.. Laughed out loud several times, whilst silmultaneously looking over my shoulder in fear of approaching psychos... Informative and well researched - highly recommended.

A well written, accessible book - not psychobabble but real-life stuff that everyone can probably relate to. Would make a good Christmas present for anyone really! A lot of it really resonated - will certainly be looking at some people in a different light from now on! Definitely learnt some valuable life lessons reading this.

This is a compelling read and as Geraint says, it leaves you looking at all your friends (and even yourself) in a new light. A nice mix of facts made comprehensible by the anecdotes and the witty writing. A great book to have around and dip into for a follow-up look through after the first reading. That first reading took me hardly more than a day, couldn't put it down!!
