This book is the perfect read for the true crime enthusiast. The author does an excellent job providing a “behind the scenes” view of how crimes are solved. I was concerned that it would be a slow read because of the scientific explanation of the investigative methods, however, there is enough personal details peppered throughout to keep the reader engaged.
At times, it felt as though I was reading about a fictional detective. I found it fascinating to see how dogged determination led to the arrest of the Golden State Killer. The author did an excellent job of building the anticipation of an arrest and I empathized with him each time a “sure thing”’was indeed a false lead. I could feel frustration mounting as his investigation was hampered by a lack of cooperation by other jurisdictions.
I would recommend this book to any reader who loves a good mystery as well.
