The Skeleton Crew: How Amateur Sleuths are Solving America's Coldest Cases by Deborah Halber

2.0

Intriguing premise without a strong execution. The author inserted herself into the story more often than necessary, and seems terrified and judgmental of any piece of America outside of New York. The whole thing was an avalanche of names, often jumping from one person's backstory to another's. No one who is not a devoted follower of an Internet forum cares about the politics of an Internet forum, yet we're treated to such minutiae often. Some interesting details, but they're lost in the weeds.
