The story is long but doesn’t feel as long as it looks. I was a little intimated by the length but it feels shorter than it is.
I really enjoyed this

The strongest part for me was the use of history to inform the story, particularly the criminology aspect. It was interesting to see how the characters drew certain conclusions based on early studies and new practices. I especially liked that they tried (at least one) scientific principle that had no real basis. It shows the trial and error aspect of research which suits the subject matter.
It’s not a fast read by any means but it was an interesting one.
