Crime & Criminals
Review:I enjoyed this story slot. It was interesting to meld the guilt that the author shared with his protagonist who is not just a liar but a murderer. However the real story was what exactly drove a reasonably intelligent man to murder his entire family. There were some explanations put forward but I'm not sure I really could ever understand such twisted thinking Read more
Review:Mike finally comes clean! He protected OJ illegally for many years knowing the truth that OJ "did it". The stashing of OJ's personal and sports items was certainly very illegal. The book again shows that juries do get it wrong at times when a good attorney lies and missleads. Read more
Review:Good book but way too much detail from the trial. I thought the book was never going to end and skipped the last 8 - 10 pages. I read a lot of true crime but prefer the books where the characters are more fleshed out. The trial...dry and TMI! Read more
Review:After years of wondering why serial killers engage in such monstrous behavior, I finally got the answers in this book.
Most of my previous research has rendered certain elements that contribute to such abhorrent behavior; however this book documents the research of someone who has been in the trenches fighting monsters. Read more
Review:Amazing book! A very informative, interesting, and entertaining (humorous, too) read. In addition to the well-written content, one of the things I loved most was how much the author's passion for the topic showed throughout the entire book. From a technology standpoint, the use of fMRI for forensic neuroscience research was fascinating. This is a great read for anyone interested in criminal psychology, neuroscience, and health technology. Read more
Review:I love Patricia Cornwell and have read many of her books. I read the previous book she did on this topic and found that one quite interesting. Perhaps because I had read the first book (the name escapes me), I just didn't get the point of this one. While it did provide some additional detail as to why She feels as though she has identified the Ripper, it just didn't seem enough for another entire book. I feel as though the book was written as a message to her critics, as if she was defending... Read more
Review:Little did the federal government know that when they protected wildlife sanctuaries they were doing more than protecting endangered species. They were in essence creating clandestine burial grounds for demented psychopathic Mafia murderers. In Staten Island "THE STATE WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES, WHICH WERE PROTECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT FROM ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT. NO CONSTRUCTION WAS ALLOWED; NO UTILITY LINES WOULD BE LAID. SURROUNDED BY HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF EMPTY LAND, THERE WAS LITTLE THREAT SOMEON... Read more
Review:This story was exceptional, as I've come to expect from Tracie Peterson. The way she is able to twist several story lines into one major theme keeps the reader fully engaged. It's hard to put her books down, which is the types of stories I like best. Read more
Review:Well-written, easy read - and highly relevant to 2015 issues. If you are concerned about current events, particularly #BlackLivesMatter, Ferguson (and the Ferguson DOJ report), and the events in Baltimore, then I think you will enjoy this book. Read more
