Summary
In this gripping - and sometimes terrifying - account, former South African Police Service (SAPS) head profiler Dr Gérard Labuschagne, successor to the legendary Micki Pistorius, recalls some of the 110 murder series and countless other bizarre crimes he analysed during his career.
An expert on serial murder and rape cases, Labuschagne saw it all in his 14 and a half years in the SAPS. He walks the listener through the first crime scene he ever attended, his arrest of the Muldersdrift serial rapist, his experience as the head of the task team mandated to catch the Quarry serial murderer, his involvement with the Brighton Beach axe murders and more. Despite often being stymied by a lack of resources, office politics and political interference, Labuschagne and his team were always determined to get their man - or woman, as in the Womb Raider case. The Profiler Diaries is a fascinating - and often hair-raising - glimpse into what it was like to be a profiler in the world’s busiest profiling unit.

Brilliant!
I could not stop listening! Excellent stories. Author gives a full account of the crimes, the investigations, the interviews with the suspects, the profiler aspects as well as the trials and sentencing. He describes the victims, witnesses and perpetrators so well that they almost come to life. He tends to digress occasionally but I found this interesting as it makes for a more in depth account. Also, very interesting insights into the SAPS and the difficulties / politics they encounter. Very frank author. Enjoyed the narrator's voice and pace too.

Not worth your time
Totally lack of coherent story, insights and critical thinking. A boring litany of direct reading from reports and inflation of self importance. Impossible to finish.
