Dr. Leslie Dobson

This isn’t bedtime reading — it’s your favorite dose of chaos, crime, and dark comedy at humanity’s expense, all served with a heavy pour of sarcasm and satire. Dr. Leslie takes you straight into the messiest media cases dominating the headlines — and dissects them down to their twisted core and exposes just how thin the line is between tragedy and entertainment… thinner than anyone wants to admit. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist (and an impressively low tolerance for b******t), Dr. Leslie is here to make sense of the madness… or at least make you laugh at it.
