A great insight in to the world of forensic psychology.
Kerry Daynes writes concisely and in a style that makes it easy to read , although at times the subject matter made it a difficult read.
Thanks to NetGalley and Octopus Publishing.

#WhatLiesBurried is my first read by this author Kerry Daynes, Forensic Psychologist and I purchased another before I'd finished this.

The author talks candidly about her personal situation and experiences with her patients. I have to admit to finding this to be a compelling read. I know that on a personal level 1 or 2 chapters were a bit of a hard read, others had my heart in my mouth and tears on my cheeks.

Thanks to the author Kerry Daynes, #Netgalley and Octopus Publishing, Endeavour. All opinions are mine and mine alone.

A good insight into this world, but not one that necessarily kept me gripped until the end. I did enjoy the writing however.

Forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes writes us a very intimate, emotional version of her life working with the police and as an expert witness in court.

Some of her accounts are scary, funny, and downright terrifying. She writes graphically and hides nothing of the emotion her clients are experiencing.
Through her words, you can tell she loves her job and just wants to care for and protect the people who are under her care. Every case is explained well to help us as the reader understand.
A really excellent insight into what a forensic psychologist encounters day to day.
Well written and very enjoyable.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this excellent book.

Very interesting and informative. thank you for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I really enjoy this kind of read. Getting to know the in's of a forensic psychologist. As with her first book this has plenty of accounts of her own experiences from sad to shocking. A good steady read and I enjoyed it more than her first.

I think I'm definitely going against the grain here but I just found this so bloody dull.

Now I absolutely love reading anything about forensics and forensic psychology but this just did not excite me at all.

Whilst there were parts within the book I wholeheartedly agreed with, for example the way and the NHS treat people with mental health issues the overall book was just boring.

This is when it's obvious that some writers and amazing at having the knack of building tension and using the correct narrative to engage with the reader. Sadly this just fell short on both aspects.

Thanks to netgalley and Octopus Publishing for the ARC.

I enjoyed the first book and can be nervous with sequels at times as you want it to be as good as the first. Thankfully this was - a powerful read with real insight. I would recommend it to everyone

Another fascinating insight into forensic psychology and the stories of the patients Kerry has treated.

What Lies Buried is a fascinating book. One which I will think back on after reading it. Not all is what it seems with some of the cases that Kerry Daynes has worked on through the years. With her skills and care she helps work out the underlying issues of some troubled minds.
Ive watched a few shows with Kerry Daynes on them and so when I was reading the book I felt like she was talking to me through it. Professionally written with a good deal of humour scattered through. (I think to work in this field you need a good sense of humour to carry you though all the trauma you have to hear about and witness.)
Once I started the book I couldn't put it down. Its a real page turner.

Thanks to Netgalley and Octopus Publishing for the ARC Copy. This review is my own opinion.

This book gave a fascinating insight into hoe a forensic psychologist works and how the legal system may not be as cut and dried as we think when dealing with the work of such professionals.

As a true crime fan I really enjoyed the perspective of the psychologist and how hard it would be at times to remain objective and professional. Some of the cases referred to in the book made me feel sad and others mad which is probably just a microcosm of what Kerry Daynes felt when actually working the cases.

Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to any fans of true crime that have ever wondered might be going on in criminal minds,

This is a fascinating book! Entering the psyche of murderers and what makes them do what they do is tremendously interesting, when told by Kerry who drops in her own brand of wit in the book to make things seem very light hearted when really it's the stuff of nightmares!!!!.
This is a must for all bookshelves

I absolutely loved Kerry Daynes’s first book, so when I was given the chance by NetGalley to read and review this book I knew that I was in for a treat.
Kerry Daynes gives us an insight into the world of forensic psychology and the different settings that she has worked in, from hospitals to her own private practice to a mother-and-baby unit. Her job is so varied and she talks about a wide range of characters that she has met throughout her career.
Kerry Daynes doesn’t pretend to be a robot and is the first to admit that sometimes her prejudice or feelings do appear during sessions with some of her patients. She says the most important thing is to realise this and to try to put them to one side at that moment in time. I have always been interested in psychology and it is the career I want to go into in the near future, and this book has ignited that passion even further but also put some of my doubts to bed.
I really did enjoy this book, and while I know that statistics and studies are important to back up facts in the book, I did feel that at some points the references and statistics were a bit too heavy, especially if you are not someone who likes to go away and read up on them afterwards. While they didn’t bother me too much, I did sometimes find I was skimming over them a little, so I wonder what people who don’t have any experience of psychology would think of these parts.
Overall, I really did enjoy the book and I enjoyed reading about the patients that Kerry Daynes included and felt satisfied when we found out what happened to them afterwards.

Sensational! In her new book, Kerry provides an unflinching, enlightening and provocative insight into the minds of her clients, shedding light on the root causes of their behaviour and challenging our notions about who, and what, is dangerous.

Another really interesting read from Kerry Daynes, I truly find reading about her work just fascinating! In this book she shared many sad and shocking stories but she manages to bring in a sprinkle of humour.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me this arc ahead of the release date

I have read Dayne's other book The Dark Side of the Mind and I have to say I think enjoyed this one more than her first, the people she has encountered within her work life have some extraordinary things happen to them and I like the idea of her diminishing the idea of 'mad' or 'bad' as it is so easy to get caught up in this when there can be reasoning behind why someone acts in a way that they do and they should be able to get the help that they need.

Another fantastic book by Kerry Daynes.

This book provides an absolutely fascinating insight into the life of a forensic psychologist.

I enjoyed how each chapter was based on one specific case, covering a wide array of the clients and work Kerry deals with on a routine basis in her job.

This book does a great job of breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions people have of forensic psychology especially the mad vs bad debate, something which I was already aware of having studied forensic psychology at university.

The writing was incredibly easy to read. Psychology concepts were explained with ease.

I really like Kerry's sense of humour. At no point during this book was I bored or uninterested.

Kerry has had such an interesting career. I believe people have a lot to learn from the work Kerry does and the lessons she has learnt in her long spanning career.

I highly recommend this book and previous book, dark side of the mind. I can't wait for her next one.

Excellent follow up to her first book a look at the world of a forensic psychologist.The author writes so well involving the reader in her cases and the people she deals with.will be recommending both books.#netgalley #octopuspublishing

I really enjoyed reading this and getting an insight into the author’s profession. I particularly enjoyed her first book and this was a great follow up. Great read.

Kerry Daynes does an amazing job of telling the stories ofcases she has worked on throughout her life as a forensic psychologist. She highlights many flaws of the system in regards to laws surrounding mental illness, stereotypes seen within them aswell as setbacks that made her job even more challenging.

This is written in a similar style to the secret barrister books, which I really enjoyed. It is nice to see someone who works in the industry notice its flaws and things that could be changed, as well as speaking about budget cuts which created tighter purse strings for people who needed help the most.

This book in my no means lets guilty people who have committed crimes be let off the hook, because of their mental illnesses, but instead helps the reader to understand the whys that can be explained.

A great read for someone who enjoys detailed stories of someone who works with the mind!!
