Did Lizzie Borden murder her own father and stepmother? Was Jack the Ripper actually the Duke of Clarence? Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? America's foremost expert on criminal profiling and 25-year FBI veteran John Douglas, along with author and filmmaker Mark Olshaker, explores those tantalizing questions and more in this mesmerizing work of detection. With uniquely gripping analysis, the authors reexamine and reinterpret the accepted facts, evidence, and victimology of the most notorious murder cases in the history of crime.

Nothing new here if you’ve read Mindhunter.
Revisado: 08-26-22
The methods seem pretty much the same as other books by Douglas. If you haven’t already read another, this will be a class in basic profiling; if you have, the discussion of famous cases might be interesting, but it seemed pretty basic in our contemporary murder show and true crime obsessed culture.

Laura Hillenbrand beautifully renders this breathtaking saga of one horse's journey from also-ran to national luminary. Seabiscuit: An American Legend is an inspiring tale of unlikely heroes, a classic story of three embattled individuals overcoming the odds in the Great Depression.

An equine vet friend recommended this book shortly after it came out, but I somehow didn't get around to it. The audio version as read by Scott Campbell was so wonderful, however, that I'm really not sorry I didn't read it sooner. I have rarely been so moved by a book; this one gave me goosebumps, and I had to stop it several times so that I wouldn't miss anything through my laughter or tears. It is full of drama, a LOT of suspense, and a great deal of lovely language. Highly recommended.

Under a Bangkok bridge, inside a bolted-shut Mercedes: a murder by snake - a charismatic African-American Marine sergeant killed by a methamphetamine-stoked python and a swarm of stoned cobras. Two cops - the only two in the city not on the take - arrive too late. Minutes later, only one is alive: Sonchai Jitpleecheep - a devout Buddhist, equally versed in the sacred and the profane - son of a long-gone Vietnam War G.I. and a Thai bar girl whose subsequent international clientele contributed richly to Sonchai’s sophistication. (Abridged edition.)

good narrator, good story
Revisado: 07-17-03
I found this book entirely enjoyable, in part because I know nothing about Thailand and found the cultural musings of the protagonist fascinating (especially in comparison with the western characters), and in part because of the virtuosity of its narrator, B.D. Wong. Wong not only reads with astute, perceptive inflection, but he also manages to carry off a variety of voices and accents without ever going over the top or sounding like he's trying to hard. At times, I was skeptical as to whether it was really the same person, particularly when he did the voice of a large, gregarious African-American character juxtaposed with a female Thai seductress. I'd listen to anything read by him--or by Campbell Scott, but that's another review. Highly recommended.
