I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara

November 28, 2018 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

cbr10bingo…Cannonballer Says I remember hearing or reading something about this book back in April of this year, because that’s when aggregate DNA from family tree / ancestry sites matched the killer’s DNA to an actual person.  I’ve always been intrigued by serial killers, and I’ve been reading true crime books since high school.  That’s really what drew me in, Michelle partially wrote this book, then passed away, then her husband and another author finished it, it was released, and then through a totally different process, […]

Frank Mackey is a detective in the undercover department (that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean). When […]

How to Make an Interesting Topic Unbearable

The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World’s Most Perplexing Cold Cases by Michael Capuzzo

June 15, 2014 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

The headquarters of the Vidocq Society were housed in a Victorian brownstone in Philadelphia. I know this because author Michael Capuzzo reminds the reader at least four times throughout the 426 pages of The Murder Room, so he must think it’s pretty significant. This is a minor complaint about a book that is rife with problems. I picked this book up with high hopes, drawn in by what I think is a fascinating subject. The Murder Room is a work of non-fiction about a real-life […]

I don’t know where my fascination for cold cases and police work came from. I once spent an entire Memorial Day weekend when I was 14 or so watching a
