Cold Cases Solved: True Stories of Murders That Took Years or Decades to Solve by Mike Riley
2.0
Mediocre Murder
As a crime and forensic junkie I had high hopes for this book. Cold cases are one of my favorite subjects in the genre and I've read books authored by many of the notable names in forensic science. Mike Riley is not destined to be one of them.
The writing is simple; I kept feeling as if I was reading a book written by a high school student instead of an adult. (My apologies if the author IS a high school student!) The chapters were disjointed and inconsistent. This reads like juvenile or teen oriented yet I think even teens would find this below their level.
