Three Minutes to Doomsday

Three Minutes to Doomsday is the story of how an FBI agent skilled in behavioral analysis identified a previously unknown traitor who had stolen and sold American military secrets to enemy nations during the Cold War. I enjoyed this book at the start, and the material was interesting throughout; however, over time it seemed to move away from just presenting the case to focusing on how skilled Navarro and his team were and how awful everyone else in the FBI was. I do not doubt the story, but it just became a little heavy handed. I noticed in the acknowledgements that the book has already been optioned for a movie, so maybe that prompted some of the dramatization. Despite that aspect, this is a good read for fans of Criminal Minds and those interested in behavioral analysis.
