The Best Book I Read in 2007 I live in L.A., and I originally bought this book as research material for an article I wanted to write. Expecting something either too dry or sensational, I wound up falling in love with Corwin's vivid, immersive writing style. It was a really pleasant surprise. He knows how to draw the reader into the world of homicide investigation, conveying the tedium of investigation without losing the excitement of the pursuit. He peels back layers of compelling detail on cases that were well-published by the press, revealing a flawed yet fascinating . "Fascinating and gripping" according to Vince. Miles Corwin writes beautifully and does a great job in engaging the reader not just with the detectives, but with the victims, the families of the victims, and even with the suspects, as in the end i couldn't help but feel sorry for some of them. A great insight into real police work that doesn't always end with nailing a case. I also enjoyed learning that these detectives have a great sense of humor as a way to exorcise the grime of their job.
“Compelling Corwin has helped demystify not just Homicide Special, but all of police culture, and given it a very personal face.” Los Angeles Times Book Review
