Cold Cases Solved: True Stories of Murders That Took Years or Decades to Solve by Mike Riley
3.0
For fans of the true crime genre, especially of TV shows like Forensic Files, a lot of these cases will sound very familiar.
I listened to the audiobook version of this particular book and occasionally the narrator brought me out of the story, occasionally he sounded almost condescending when reading about some of the victims. It was a little weird.
I don't know if the print version is the same way, but the audiobook version is broken out with a chapter for each case, with dates, victims, suspects listed in the beginning of each one. It was a straightforward if a little didactic, probably good for a classroom or educational purposes but not much more information is included than you can get from other sources. And it certainly isn't a comprehensive look into these crimes.
