Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases by Paul Holes
4.0
I was really nervous this book wouldn't live up to the hype but I enjoyed it!
After listening to Holes on podcasts for so many years it was great to read his story in his own words. I also just really appreciate that he didn't try to show himself only in golden light. He was honest about his failures not only in his work life but in his family life too.
I really liked seeing how cases were solved from the eyes of someone in forensics, not just from a detectives pov. I feel like that is a perspective that is not often the main voice in true crime but is definitely one of the most important ones.
I do truly love all the attention to cold cases (and the solving of them!) that Holes has brought in his life and this book is just one instance of that.
