The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World's Most Perplexing Cold Cases
by Michael Capuzzo
Reader's review (3/29/2011)
I saw so much buzz about this book and such widely varying reviews from the critics that I finally bought and read it. It is the worst written book I've ever read, hands down, and I am old enough to have read a lot of books, particularly nonfiction. It's disjointed, overly-dramatic, riddled with both factual and grammatical errors and simply terrible. He tries way too hard to be literary and most of the cases are unresolved. In fact, a lot of it reads like Internet research, not someone who did first hand research. I understand a lawsuit has been filed against the author by one of the person's in the book -- I understand why. I'd sue, too, if someone wrote a book this bad about me. The reviews on Amazon were terrible. Turns out they were right.
