My Daddy is a Hero: How Chris Watts Went from Family Man to Family Killer

interesting listen, went through the facts as I'd heard from the media also some details I'd not heard before, went through Chris' phycology somewhat, definitely worth a listen.

If you are fascinated by the psychology behind Chris Watts, then I highly recommend this book. There is a lot of insight provided to the reader giving you perspectives from both sides. I could tell a tremendous of research went into this book. It gave me a better understanding of Shanann,and Chris’s relationship with each other, their girls, and their family and friends.

The book was ok. It was repetitive although I did hear a few details I hadn’t heard before. The narrator was robotic most of the time. The whole last hour was a bit much. I lost interest and couldn’t finish.

I give the book 2 out of 5 stars because the first five eighths of the book has extremely few original ideas to contribute (despite this book claiming to be a psychological explanation) and because the diagnostic methodology utilized in the final quarter is seriously flawed such that many readers may falsely suspect their husbands of being monsters simply for Googling, "What does it feel like to be in love?" The mere suggestion by this industry professional that such a detail is clinically relevant is astounding. This book isn't just a case of confirmation bias: it is intentional confirmation bias. Derhally's years of relevant experience told her that Chris simply does not match the profile of a cold blooded killer. That is where the analysis should have stopped. If it isn't the expected conclusion, it is necessary to ask the question, "Why?" Instead of asking why Chris's profile didn't match his second confession story, she hammered a square peg in a circular hole by starting with the unfounded conclusion that Chris indeed a cold blooded killer, using any scrap of evidence she could possibly find to support her completely unsubstantiated conclusion. As if sealed criminal confessions behind closed doors are ever anything to trust. The final quarter of this book abuses the psychoanalytical process and should not be taken seriously as a valuable analysis.

Excellent
