finished it in a day so clearly, my attention was grabbed, but if I hadn’t seen this in a thrift store and if it didn’t have a recommendation from mary roach (author of stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers, a book I thoroughly enjoyed) on the cover I probably wouldn’t have gotten it and considering the amount of copaganda and the writers racial and political biases coming through on a few cases I do not recommend you buy this new and if you are interested in the information there might be better books out there on the same subject or buy it secondhand like me

also there’s some crime scene photos so if you’re sensitive to seeing dead bodies you’ve been warned
