A review by jilly7922
Incendiary: The Psychiatrist, the Mad Bomber and the Invention of Criminal Profiling by Michael Cannell

4.0

This book is about the Mad Bomber in New York City during the 1950's. The mad bomber terrified New York City with dozens of home made bombs over a 16 year period of where he was unanimous. This book is about the hunt for the killer. This book was also about the beginning of criminal profiling. Criminal profiling got its roots from this hard to solve case.
Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This book was well written and very informative. It captured all aspects of these crimes. It did go into depth about the mad bomber case. This book had excellent character development, it went into detail describing all the main players in the story. There were times in this book that I felt the story did not flow well and got off track, but overall it was a great read.
I would like to thank Netgalley, Michael Cannell, and St. Martin's Press: Minotaur Books for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
