Paul Holes’s latest book, Unmasked, is part true-crime and part memoir. He discusses countless cases that he worked on, while also opening up about the emotional toll his work has had on his mental health and relationships. It was interesting to see behind-the-scenes of how investigators worked cases and found/processed evidence. Paul Holes talks about his obsession with the Golden State Killer case and how this played out over the years, including various other suspects and snags they ran into while investigating.

I admire his dedication to cold cases and although I’ve read a lot regarding the GSK case, it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly far the advances in DNA technology have come. I would definitely recommend picking up Unmasked for a personal, honest, and detailed account of Paul Holes’s life and the cases he has worked on! Thank you so much to Celadon Books and Bookish First for my gifted copy!
