Title: Profiles in Murder: An FBI Legend Dissects Killers and Their Crimes by Russell Vorpagel ISBN: 0-440-23552-9 Publisher: Dell Publishing Company Pub. Date: 09 January, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.99 |

Summary: A very average profiling study
Comment: This book started out with what I found kind of a stagey premise....with Vorpagel "teaching" a class of profiling students. There were some moments of interesting reading, but suddenly, in the final quarter of the book, Vorpagel and Harrington suddenly veered directly off the track of murder and profiling and went into two incredibly boring stories that had nothing to do with profiling at all. I'm beginning to wonder if anything is being written anymore, as far as forensic profiling, that says anything new. And I am also puzzled by the sheer number of these books lately that have veered far afield of their supposed topics. I found this a VERY average book.

Summary: Very interesting & informative,Vorpagel is very entertaining
Comment: This book is very easy to read, I couldn't put it down (I read it in 4 hours).Very useful to public defenders, prosecutors, investigative officers, coroners, psychologists, etc. It gives a view of death investigations (forensics) as an art and not a science. The author takes you step by step through crime scenes depicting details that are gruesome and not for someone with a weak stomach. Overall, the author is very good and almost feels as if you are watching a horror movie. I recommend this book to anyone who works with death scenes, criminals and law enforcement.
Rating: 5
Summary: a profile in stellar crime-fighting
Comment: I believe I've read all the books by Douglas, Ressler, and all the others writing about psychological profiling, yet I still found this an absorbing and fascinating book. Vorpagel presents a number of cases in which the crime scene is not always what it appears to be, and the unexpected (but plausible) explanations are more surprising than the rabbit-out-of-the-hat endings of 99.9% of crime fiction. The story of the training exercise in Chapter 7 alone is worth the price of the book. Highly recommended.
