This book is stunning, so beautifully made. It contains short snippets of some of world's famous unsolved murders, almost all of them are from the 20th century. Some were already familiar to me through either my prior readings or from the news (like the Long Island serial killer). Actually, a professor for my Forensic Science class was an active CSI on that case, so I got the real inside look at the scenes where bodies were found, at the crime photos, etc. This is not a book for someone who is looking to obtain a very detailed account, this is more of an introduction to those cases.
