Book Review of The Alienist (Lazlo Kreizler & John Moore, Bk 1)

The Alienist (Lazlo Kreizler & John Moore, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


If you are interested in forensics & the beginning of the science of forensics, historical fiction with a great character lineup,& a great murder mystery that will keep you reading then this book is for you. The setting is the turn of the century New York, characters like Theodore Roosevelt, as police commissioner will peak your interest. You are given an insight few will ever know about the seedy side of New York City. You will watch the psychological development of a character who is unknown but is a serial killer. This book is a "hard subject read" because it deals with child protitution, pedophellia, child abuse and murder. Great book to read.
