This was a long one! I was initially interested because I saw the ads for the mini-series on TNT. While I enjoyed the premise (forensic profiling at the turn of the century), the writing was a bit dry in places. The last 100 pages flew by though, as the mystery unraveled. I will say that it seems Caleb Carr did spend a lot of time researching 20th century New York, and I enjoyed the bits of history sprinkled in.

If you’re interested in mysteries with a psychological bent, you might try this one out. Just know that it is long!
