Summary: If This Guy Writes More, I'll Read It!
Comment: Miles Corwin has an exceptional way with words, stories, and characters. This book is one of the best treats I've picked up in a while. I'm starting to wonder what my family is going to do until I finish it, because I haven't been able to put it down. Utterly fascinating, and never a dull moment. This is beats the pants off of any episode - or season, for that matter - of C.S.I. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Read this book and you'll be inside the LAPD!!
Comment: Would you like to be a "fly on the wall" inside a homicide investigation?

This is an incredibly intriguing book that allows the reader to become familiar with all aspects of the LAPD Homicide Special division and the "ins and outs" of homicide investigation. It chronicles several real homicide investigations from start to finish, allowing the reader to identify with the investigators and the victims. (Some are even famous) The history of the LAPD, occasionally shady but never boring, is also narrated. Throughout the book the reader learns about everything from crime scene investigations to interrogation methods. This book is excellent. If you have even the slightest interest in police work, you really should read this book. It reads like fiction- detectives you root for, victims your heart bleeds for, and bad guys that get busted.

Rating: 5
Summary: A real police procedural
Comment: Even if you aren't a fan of the police procedural novel, in which every detail of police work is explained, this true-life piece of reporting may prove engrossing because it reveals what really goes on in murder investigations. The author gets into what makes good detectives good and also what makes them different from one another. Although the members of the special homicide unit may dress pretty much alike on the job, they are widely divergent in their personal tastes and backgrounds. It's easy to consider the LA police force as an homogeneous group, but this book reminds us that no two people are alike. And it gives a good picture of the elements that make up a successful investigation.
