Real Life Creepy Crime Stories

I would recommend this book to others. This book is both entertaining and informative. Each chapter talks about dangerous criminals, and how they were caught. You also get to read about the first detectives and how the job was created. This book is very interesting. Mystery lovers, you will love this book! Heather R

A investigation of True Stories of Crime and Dection

I would recomend it cause it is like a history book for people. It shows how investigators used to solve crimes before all the technological inventions. For people who are interested in criminal minds,it has 10 true stories about crimesranging from murder to forgery. Is how they solve them on t.v. the same as in real life?The book will show you how it is or isn't. Jessica R
