You know, I wish this book was a bit better. I say that because this genre/topic really interests me.
I found that this was a short form podcast. With each chapter focusing on a different case, it felt like you got a 15 minute summary of what happened. I felt like there were some pieces of information missing. It makes sense that the book was written in this format (since the author is also a podcaster), but it just missed the mark by a hair.
