This would be a great starting point to start looking at crimes that are semi lesser known.
I skimmed a bunch of the sections but really only read the first chapter/ chapter and a half and then the bits on killers and serial killers.
Whoever read the audiobook was amazing!

Si te gusta la literatura sobre crímenes reales, o ver el canal Investigation Discovery, este libro va a ser de tu agrado. Bellamente ilustrado, este libro relata múltiples casos de diferentes índoles (robos, secuestros, asesinatos, etc.), donde el lector puede leer en qué consistió el caso, cómo se llevó a cabo el crimen, dando además una explicación simple a nivel cultura, social y psicológico en algunos casos. Si bien, por la cantidad de crímenes que el libro intenta recaudar, no hay mucha profundización en los aspectos psicológicos (aunque se nombran y explican de manera muy concisa, sobre todo para el lector que posee poca información sobre esos ámbitos), la lectura es rápida, interesante y bien estructurada. Realmente fue fascinante aprender diversas cosas nuevas sobre diversas clases de crímenes, algunos aspectos culturales de los mismos (como la organización estructural de los yakuza), y los aspectos relacionados a la Criminología. Si te gusta leer o ver información sobre crimen, este libro es bien gráfico y completo para eso.

there were quite a lot of cases in this book, which was nice. i just wished they didn’t use the most popular ones for the categories as it gets a little boring reading pages and pages about crimes you already know about.
besides that, it was interesting! i liked how they gave small snippets of crimes similar on the side!

Mostly didn’t finish because it’s more of a reference book. Will likely continue he browsing it throughout the year.

There was no way I would have finished this without the audiobook. The narration was good but let’s just say it gives me encyclopaedia vibes or a slightly cooler textbook.
By the time I’m reading this there are some changes in cases already.
Overall a decent coffee table book that you can dip in and out of whenever you feel like it.
