I loved Michelle McNamara’s writing in I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Holes is clear and concise in his writing, offering a fascinating look into GSK and other killings.

A huge thank you to Celadon books for the Advanced Release Copy of thia book. I am a huge fan of true crime and police proceedurals. Unfortunately, they can be somewhat long and drawn-out. Paul Holes manages to give you enough depth and detail to keep it interesting but not so much that you get bogged down in the details.
We currently live in a world where DNA is king and the criminologists have one of the coolest jobs around. I enjoyed the perspective from when this was all new. At the start of Paul's career, DNA and other lab techniques where in their infancy. They were generally in an area that was run down, unmarked and lacking in functional equipment.
Despite these limitations, Paul used every resource available to him to learn more and more until he was one of the best cold case investigations out there.
If you are at all a fan of true crime, put this one on your list.

Kudos to him for talking about his mental health struggles and family struggles, but this did not work for me. He seems to paint himself as a victim to his passion for criminal justice, and all I could think about was empathy for his wives and children. Thank goodness we have people like him working in the criminal justice system, but I am not sure I would read another biography of that person.

Wow...I can relate to Paul feels. Firstly, I knew him from his podcast, the Murder Squad. I learned he was instrumental in catching the Golden State killer and solving many cold cases. However, I didn't know he stared out in as a forensic scientist. Secondly, I recently started a career in the forensic field and I have seen way less than him. With that said, I totally understand why he went through such emotional and mental struggles. Overall, a great read about someone ai respect in my field of work.
Couldn’t stop listening! Paul really gets vulnerable and does a great job of talking about vulnerable personal moments and the cold cases he’s worked on. A great book and must read for True Crime fans!
