Helpful Score: 2

This is a true-crime book about the Vidocq society, which is a group of 82 forensic scientists and detectives and criminal profilers who host a get-together every now and again to attempt to solve some of the country's most heinous or most infamous (or both) crimes. The detectives take on a number of widely known cases including John List and the Boy in the Box and discuss the evidence and how they arrived at their decision of who the guilty party is. As someone who reads a lot of true-crime stories, this book is a treasure trove of stories and is not to be missed! The only thing about the book that I disliked is that there are a number of names mentioned and sometimes it's difficult to keep up with who is whom. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.
