"The Murder Room"

[PG2005]

I'm currently reading it, about 50 pages in. I'm a fast reader and thoroughly enjoy (usually) any books about crimes/police/etc, but I'm having such a tough time with this book! I feel like it jumps around too much and goes into too much detail about members of the Vidocq. I hope it gets better!

I wonder if you liked it any better? I am about halfway through and think it is a great read. I keep thinking that all the folks who love watching CSI and the like would love this. ( I am really liking the book even though I am not too much a fan of CSI and those shows). The vidocq vidoqc? society is amazing; it's so hard for me to grasp that this is non-fiction!!

I could swear I did write when I finished it a while ago but I don't see that. Anyway, I highly recommend it.
I don't watch CSI or those shows, so this is not my typical reading fare but this was just really interesting. There was a good amount of talk about this one, but it seems to have quieted down. I am just "bumping" this because it is one of those that if you don't know to look for it you will be missing out.

If anyone else was really drawn into the story of the boy in the box- as I was( I still can't stop thinking about it), in today's headlines...
