MINDHUNTER

My readers will know that I am more than a little fascinated by true crime the psychology of evil- and of course, criminal profiling. That it’s possible to tell so much about a perpetrator by analysing the way they carry out their crimes.

That ‘What + Why = Who’

What you may not know however, is that this fascination started with, MINDHUNTER- a seminal work which goes behind the scenes of the FBI behavioral science unit and the inception of criminal profiling.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read the book and like so many other crime fiction fans, binged watched the Netflix show on which it’s based.

So, to have its author, Mark Olshaker praise my latest novel, TRULY DARKLY DEEPLY, is both humbling and also the most extraordinary honour:

“First rate. Victoria Selman has written a smart, sophisticated and compelling mystery thriller about the effects of serial murder, both on the killer’s victims and, equally chilling, the ones he spares. The characters and situations absolutely ring true and she had me all the way.”

—MARK OLSHAKER,
co-author of Mindhunter

I have since interviewed Mark on my Crime Time show, On The Sofa With Victoria. Join us as we chat about serial killers and profiling the criminal mind:

TRULY DARKLY DEEPLY is my latest novel. It examines a serial killer’s legacy through the eyes of his daughter who, 20 years after his incarceration, still can’t be sure if he’s actually guilty.
