I picked it up at the library due to it being a true story, written by a professor and in the forensic science field. I also was intrigued by the gruesome (blood covered shoe print) front cover.
It was okay, I found myself dragging through it towards the end. It felt like a brag, so many great accomplishments but they're hidden in between stories that never feel complete.

Really easy to read, and the concept is so simple yet so good! If you enjoy his podcasts, you'll know a lot of his book content but it never hurts to be reminded that we should be moving more ;)
