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

2.0

The subject matter of this book is compelling. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite live up to its potential. The book is composed of a series of vignettes, but the vignettes are interwoven, often making it difficult to keep the players and individual stories and facts straight. Frequently, there also were extraneous descriptors and details that detract from the stories. Overall, it's a great concept for a book, but the writing is not as tight as it could be.
