Recommended read

This is the first book I have read by this author but I really enjoyed it. I really enjoy the true crime genre and found this book so engaging and fascinating. I loved the stories in the book and felt it was so well written to keep the reader engaged. If you enjoy non-fiction and true crime, I recommend this book because it is just so interesting to see how work is for a forensic psychologist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What lies buried by Kerry Daynes

This nonfiction book is an account of the people that Kerry has met and worked with in her career as a forensic psychologist.

I loved reading all the stories of Kerry’s clients and Kerry always made you feel empathy and understanding of how they found themselves in the situations they did, mostly linked to previous experiences.

This was a very people focused book but it didn’t scrimp on going through the more technical aspects of her job.

I know that Kerry has written other books and I would be really interested in reading g those as well now.

This is the second book I have read by this author and it didn’t disappoint
This book was informative and very interesting. It was also sad in places too
A great read

Great book , was shocked with some of the stories .great insight to this profession, scary and powerful. These people who do these jobs should be reward to the highest .
Such an interesting read.

A really great read with thrilling twists and turns. I never knew what to expect and it kept me Interested until the very end.

Very interesting and thought provoking. Would have liked to have read more stories about cases, there seemed to be a bit of unnecessary 'padding'.

Devoured this book in one go! Reminiscing on cases she has worked on through her career as a forensic psychologist, Daynes shows why it is so important not to focus only on labels or to write anyone off as 'bad' or 'mad'. Her humanity and compassion in approaching each client is inspiring.
Absolutely brilliant, definitely would recommend!

This book is part True Crime in part autobiography it’s about the author becoming a psychiatrist to the criminally insane. From his creepy interviews with killers to his funny and sometimes dangerous descriptions of every day life I found this book compelling easy to read an Uber interesting. I also found his storytelling to be honest and humble in the definitely kept me turning the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it if you love True Crime and or autobiographies you definitely love What Lies Buried by Cerrie Danes I want to thank the author and net Galley for my free arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

A fascinating look into human nature and the reasoning behind what we do and what we think from one of the UK's most prominent forensic psychologists working today. She opens up some of her most extreme and peculiar case files and with humour and clarity discusses the conditions that often underlie some of the most infamous criminal cases in history. A pacy, compulsively readable book which focuses on the intersectionality of psychology and crime.

Having watched Kerry Daynes as an expert in many true crime shows I was excited to read more about her personal experiences.
I was not disappointed! A great mix of cases that make you mad, sad and glad that are reading about it rather than being involved in it.
Perfectly paced and kept my interest throughout.

I loved both of Kerry’s books! Forensic psychology has always been a huge interest of mine. So much so that I actually did study it for a while at university (doing so was inspired by the first one of these books). If you’re a fan of criminal minds you will love this book without a doubt

An amazing insight into the role of a forensic psychologist and the people who’s care and treatment she’s involved with. This book provides true case studies of people struggling with severe mental illness, and clearly illustrates that the mad/bad dichotomy is extremely reductive. Kerry Daynes comes across as empathetic, patient and open-minded, who makes a real difference to the lives of those she helps treat.

Fascinating insight, and well written. Kerry Daynes has a way of writing that keeps the reader transfixed. I love the way she explains her subject in simple and easy to understand explanations. A very knowledgeable author who manages to bring some humour into a dark but very interesting subject. Fabulous book.

I enjoyed the author's previous book The Dark Side of the Mind and found this equally as compelling. Daynes is a forensic psychologist and in What Lies Buried she explores what lies beneath the crimes and behaviour of some of her most complex clients.
Daynes writes well and brings humour and humanity to a dark subject. It's a compelling, fascinating and insightful read.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

#WhatLiesBurried by the author Kerry Daynes, Forensic Psychologist was something I thought might be interesting as i'm intrigued by true crimes.

The author talks openly about the situations and experiences she;s had with her patients. There are many stories in this book that seem unbelievable to the everyday human, but I admit to finding this a rather compelling read, some of the incidents had my heart in my throat.

A good insight into the life of a forensic psychologist, and what they go through. A good book for true crime lovers with an interest in this subject

Having worked within a prison, I thought that I would have enjoyed this book - but unfortunately this book was not for me. I really struggled to get in to it and gave up without finishing it.

Kerry Danyes is a brave woman indeed. This humble and generous insight into her professional world is beautifully honest.
She garners your attention , from the start, sharing stories of brutality touched with sadness in her working world, often tinged with humour, as would be an obvious necessity when delving into the world of mental health and it’s impact on the sufferers and of those that suffer at its hands.
It is a very interesting read, the ‘patients’ she cleverly observes whilst seeking an answer to the complex effects that surround them not only give a clarity as to the ‘Why’s’ but also to the ‘What’ that leads these often severely troubled individuals to commit heinous crimes within our society.
This book is about humanity, it’s about violent acts and a quest to unravel truths.
It really makes you question yourself and opinions that you may have held regarding crimes that you read about. It makes you wonder that not only are there victims, often, through no fault of their own, the perpetrators are also victims in many ways.
You can decide for yourself.
A must read for all, well written with an obvious talent in a troubled vocation.

I'm always a little conflicted about books like these. To protect clients' confidentiality, case studies presented as narratives are usually composites of several different cases or are historic in that they occurred many decades ago (100 years, usually). This limits their capacity for teaching. There's also the entertainment aspect: people are morbidly fascinated by the work of mental health professionals, and memoir authors who are practitioners have a difficult tightrope to negotiate. How much can they pander to these audiences to generate publicity for book sales?

Dayne's writing is engaging at times, and she displays decent insight into her reactions and working practices. This, I found, saved the book from a descent into a prurient take on a much-misunderstood aspect of healthcare.

A great insight into the life of a forensic psychologist, perfect for any true crime lovers and anyone with an interest in the subject
