The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World's Most Perplexing Cold Cases
by Michael Capuzzo
Must read The Murder Room (8/1/2010)
I met Michael Capuzzo during a cross country car trip when my wife read a Readers' Digest excerpt from Capuzzo's "Close To Shore". The writing and story were so compelling we had to pull off in South Dakota to find a bookstore to purchase a copy of the book. The book did not disappoint; a riveting story told by one of America's best story tellers.

Michael Capuzzo's newest book is his latest, greatest story. He does an excellent job of keeping you interested in the murders, the subsequent solving of the crimes, but is best at describing the complex personalities and how they all work together in their singular objective; solving insolvable cases and bringing justice to innocent victims. This book is mezmorizing and could not be put down.

I most highly recommend this read. I wish we had not had to wait so long for another book from this author. I was able to whet my appetite between books by reading his excellent stories in the monthly "Mountain Home" award winning magazine.
