I thought it would be more interesting and would talk about the cases she worked on but it was more an autobiography of her career, so some parts felt boring and repetitive. I overall didnt enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

I enjoyed this memoir, especially learning about the challenges that Jana faced in male-dominated industries (law enforcement and the FBI). She is a fantastic role model for carving your own path to success. 

My main complaint is that the book tended to jump around a lot, which could be confusing. The fact that I listened to it on audio might have enhanced this issue. 

I definitely recommend for people interested in the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI!

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It brought insight into the FBI workforce as a woman. I was hoping for her to touch on more cases. But it is a very good memoir.
