The first few chapters were written as mainly third person facts. I kept imagining it as if it was set in one of those old school black and white movies. The cover of the book give it that feel as well. I like how they really focused on the victim showing who he was before he was killed. I almost thought I misread the info about the book because there was no other victims. That is until the end of the last chapter. This is reads like a list of information and facts relating to the time, victims, and the overall crime. Despite that it is very easy to read, I could read this for a few hours with no problems.
