The Alienist by Caleb Carr

5.0

Yes yes yes!!!! This book is delicious. The characters are well developed and make you really feel for them. The writing in this book is superb. Carr is a wordsmith with a love of words that are uncommonly used, but enjoyed throughly but folks like myself who love language. This is definitely Law and Order S. V. U. Circa 1896. Total page turner. I loved the gruesome details, and the Criminal Minds/ Mindhunter aspect of this book. Looking for a serial killer. 5/5 easy. Highly recommend and now I need to watch the show!!!
