Reseñas de la Crítica

From cold cases and serial killers to the death of a spy, Peter's true life story is as gripping as the finest thriller (Peter James, author of the Roy Grace series)

Friendly, adventurous, personable.

I enjoy forensics; Peter seems like a fun guy to have a beer with at the local pub. He’s built a life he’s loved doing important work and has filled holes where the government and local egos have failed.

A Very Unique Life

I enjoyed this book. I admit that I hoped for a more "how to" approach, but that was my fault.

This is purely a telling of stories and does little to advance any agenda. There are some topics and situations that are thrilling and others that are deeply moving.

I am glad this was shared with the world.

Broad overview of a visionary service provider

Peter is easy to relate to. As a kid, I loved hide and seek and always found the best spots. As an adult, I still have a notion I can find the best spots to hide a body (not that I’ve murdered anyone). Peter shares his joy of seeking that which is most precious to loved ones who have lost someone. This is a good first book from what I hope will become a series of search and rescue missions. One thing that gets me is the territorialism he has to navigate when working with law enforcement. Def a great listen.

Interesting.

Interesting book, though the title is slightly misleading, it being less about forensic investigation and more about removing protesters from underground tunnels. I found the author a bit too arrogant to be likeable but that doesn’t take anything away from his undoubtedly impressive practical skill set.

The narration was excellent.
