Summary: Good crime book
Review: Interesting investigations into the most famous crimes of the past centurys up until recently. The author analyzes, investigates and tells us about the victims of the most popular and notorious murder cases. Some of the cases he investigates are the jon benet ramsey murder, the lindbergh baby kidnapping, the zodiac killer and more. Tons of interesting info and a highly enjoyable read. 4 stars/ good for anyone interested in crime/murder investigations.

Summary: Average Attempt
Review: I enjoy reading John Douglas's books; I have always found his insights interesting. This book is not up to par with some of his other works, however. Perhaps it is because these are cases that remain unsolved and much that he would use in "working cases" has been muddied by years of mystery. Perhaps the best thing he says is that all killings deserve equality in the press -- that the press shouldn't single some cases out because of some sensational in the case, whether it be the brutality or the wealth of the family. Everyone deserves for their suffering to receive equal attention.

Summary: John Douglas is amazing!
Review: I have read all of Mr Douglas' books and I have never been disappointed. I have liked some more than others but over-all his theories are none short of brilliant. He actually makes YOU THINK!! Once I have started any of his books, I cannot put them down. I have recommended them to friends and they too have never been disappointed. In this book I was drawn to the JonBenet case. I thought that I had made up my mind who I felt the killer or killerS were until I read his thoughts. He makes the reader look at things in a way you never would have before. I strongly recommend any of his books if you are open minded (or not, but like to challenge yourself) enough to step out of your box for a while and actually USE that brain. Mr. Douglas, I salute you, if for nothing else but for being a really great FBI agent.

Summary: Not bad...could have been better
Review: I went into this book for the JonBenet Ramsey chapter, thinking John Douglas had sold out to the Ramseys when they hired him to consult on their case. But I have to say, JD changed my mind. I no longer believe the Ramseys killed their own daughter.JD brought a fresh and enlightening viewpoint to the Ripper case and convinced me Scotland Yard had their man, but couldn't prove it. The Zodiac chapter was also nicely done. I would have to say the Lindbergh kidnapping was the hardest chapter to get through. It's hard to make old cases fresh if there isn't compelling new information. Good read for the crime buff.
