challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad tense fast-paced

I listened to this on audio and hearing Paul tell the story himself was strong and impactful. This was not a fun or easy read. It is so devastating to hear what GSK did to his victims. I needed a lot of breaks while listening to this one because the details were grisly, but the way this story was laid out was very engaging and any time I forgot something he was great with adding subtle reminders. The ending was really powerful and I now have to read Michelle’s story “I’ll be Gone in the Dark”. I think this is a perfect read for true crime fans and I highly recommend this one!

I picked up Unmasked expecting insights into how complex crimes are investigated, but it leans more toward memoir than method. The cases are often repetitive and surface-level, with little forensic or procedural depth.

Coming off When Breath Becomes Air, which beautifully balanced personal sacrifice with professional insight, Unmasked felt emotionally scattered and less profound. If you're looking for true crime analysis, this may disappoint — but if you're drawn to the personal toll of a career in law enforcement, it might resonate more.
