    This was my first time reading this author and I am glad that I did!

    I thought this book was very good and it covered crimes that I have heard about, but there were some that I hadn't. The book also contains some trivia (Q&A) after each case which lets the reader try to answer questions that maybe they know or think they know. The book was a little different then most crime books, but I thought it was very informative on the cases. There are other books by this author and I after reading this book, I am going to try and track them down. Three stars for this one.
