The Skeleton Crew: How Amateur Sleuths are Solving America's Coldest Cases by Deborah Halber
3.0
This novel took me quite a bit of time to get through. It's not that the subject matter is boring but, rather, that the book itself is incredibly dense; stocked full of information that made my eyes burn if I read too much of it at once.
If you are interested in true crime, I do believe that this non-fiction is an excellent book, it just took me time to finish it (which isn't always a bad thing). I believe that the author did an excellent job of proving her points through various real life examples but sometimes I forgot just what she was trying to prove because of how long these examples could be.
I found the different stories incredibly interesting and really enjoyed the encouragement it provides to those who are interested in the topic to just go out and try to connect some pieces. In the end, it didn't have an overwhelming effect on me but it did open my eyes a little to certain detective work and how hard cold cases can be to solve.
