dark emotional informative mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

Starts off slow with a lot of exposition on Paul’s early life and career but picks up and becomes more engaging about halfway through.

3.5

First things first, I greatly enjoyed learning about all of the cases that Paul Holes had been apart of. He had such a profound impact on some many cases including GSK and he is one in a million when it comes to solving cases. And, I was truly amazed by how open and honesty he was about his own life and mental health issues! I’m not sure why this book just didn’t click for me. There were points that were very easy to read and others that I was dredging through just to finish it. For that reason alone I have to give the book a 3.5.

3.25

On one hand, I think this was an interesting real-life look at the investigative side of true crime. I wasn’t a huge fan of the author’s tone throughout, but I understand that to be in his position you probably need to be a little aloof and detached personality-wise (and we do need people in his position to get the bad guys, unfortunately). I skipped through a lot of the very detailed descriptions of the EAR’s rapes and killings because that’s a hell of a lot more likely to happen to me as a woman than it is to Paul Holes — I guarantee most of us women and enby folks have worried about the same scenario in our head, we don’t need 50 gruesome stories of the same situation for us to imagine the horror. 

I’ll add a few content warnings officially  but in case I forget any — it’s literally anything you can imagine relating to rape and murder.
