Thank you so much @celadonbooks for this gifted copy! A book that's heavily tabbed is greatly loved, and I did just that with Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases by Paul Holes

What a brilliant true crime memoir from start to finish. The writing!! I buddy read this with my good friend and I text her directly after reading the first couple of chapters in near tears, that's how beautiful and vibrant the words are.

I grew up reading/watching the cases mentioned and this book had me on edge the entire time! As I got further in and close to the end it took my breath away. I had to sit on my thoughts and collect myself because this is one hell of a captivating read.

His dedication is unreal and sacred. I loved that we got chapters of his family life. I felt so sad that he had trouble giving the people that mattered most in his life the love that they needed. I couldn't imagine juggling my personal life with that line of work. I felt awful for all parties. I could feel his pain jumping out from the pages. Holes is a special man, never arrogant and always humble.

If you're into cold cases, forensics, and seeing how it affects a person in all aspects of their life please pick it up. I can't say enough good things!! Under 300 pages, you won't put this down.

My rating? All the stars.

You can pick up Unmasked this coming Tuesday 4/26
