Educational history book that reads like a novel. I loved it and have been recommending it to anyone who will listen.

A beautifully written, compelling read. Norton takes you on a journey, blending a heartfelt story with just the right amount of forensic detail. It's about finding answers for a family, and it's both moving and inspiring. Norton nails the balance between storytelling and technical info, making it a must-read for true crime fans or anyone who loves a good, impactful story.

Lovable lead character

I dug the characters and enjoyed the story but it lacked the darkness that the beginning promised and was a bit more “cop action movie” than I enjoy.

Interesting story

I was interested enough to finish it but it lacked the dive into character development or procedure that I enjoy in other books

My favorite non-fiction book I have ever read! I learned of it from watching The Wire and as fantastic as that show is, the book is better. David Simon has a rare combination of straightforward reporting and eloquent writing. Most of all, he has a knack for capturing humanity, in all of its flaws.
