This was a very well written non fiction book, however it may not be for everyone. If you have any interest in crime scene forensics, serial offenders of ALL kinds, and criminology (and can stomach all the details that investigating these crimes involves reading about...) then hands down absolutely read this book. It was really interesting, and somewhat educational (but definitely more of a memoir than anything), but it would get 5 stars if there was more detailed scientific info (for me personally) about the solving of crimes and less sensationalization of the crimes themselves. But I also don't believe that was Holes' purpose in writing this so it's hard to fault him for it. I appreciated the time spent focusing on the victims, ALL the victims - the lives lost, their family and friends, the detectives/police who investigate unsolved cases, those innocent accused and the family members of the guilty just to name a few.
