      It's a book worth reading

      It's mostly an excellent book. There are some parts I find tedious. It's almost like it was written by 2 people. At time the words will flow. Interesting and exciting but then later on, the words becomes choppy, wordy, boring and hard to follow. BUT...I still love the book and Caleb Carr's attention to detail. I'm definitely a Caleb Carr fan!

    • Great copy of a great book

      I love hardcover first editions with the dust cover intact. I do my archival dust jacket cover number on them and then I dive in. What a great read (if you like dark, edgy historical Victorian murder mayhem mysteries). ;-)

    • Excellent book for forensic lovers!

      This book is quite intense and very well done. Showing how forensics "might" have started and where, the story, although gruesome in some areas dealing with the murders, is compelling and the historic background is extremely well documented. Would recommend for anyone interested in forensics or "true crime" advocates.

    • Cannot Put it Down

      I am a mystery lover. This is a book of great full noted players, a setting in the 1800’s, and murder oh so wicked. I found myself learning more about the people involved and a connection on the way they move toward the knowledge of the killer. I want everyone to read this book. It is a whodunit and you will keep reading until the end. ENJOY

    • Weird book

      This is a very hard book to read. Too detailed for me. I read for pleasure and this book is too hard a read. Don't see how they ever made a TV series from it, which I also tried to watch without success/
