Not bad. A fairly in depth review of 6 unsolved cases. Some I knew: D.B.Cooper, Peking Man, and Lizzie Borden; and some I did not: Serge Rubinstein's murder, Brooklyn Museum art robbery, and the Charley Ross kidnapping. I found the unfamiliar cases interesting, and the familiar ones basically complete. Interesting reading. (
