I knew this was going to be a fascinating listen but I wasn't prepared for just how good it was. The level of work, effort and money that Jensen has put into helping people find lost loved ones, fugitives and murderers is insane!
Within this book he details just how it all started, why it started and why he keeps going. The book is filled with fascinating stories of some very tragic cases. Some will stay with me for a long time, especially that of Henryk Siwiak.
I've seen some people complain about the format of the book that it jumps around a bit from case to case but I actually enjoyed that aspect because it reflects the reality of the work and nature of trying to get justice for these victims.
If you have any interest in true crime, even a passing one, this needs to be on your reading list.
