Customer Reviews

An excellent basic guide5
This book is an excellent basic guide to the criminal mind. A good grounding for any writer, especially those who tackle short stories, or who wish to include a passing reference to murder, satanism, child pornography, hitmen etc in a story. Like all Readers' Digest books, it was published in the USA and includes information on the Mafia and other phenomena more common in the States. Nevertheless, a useful book for any beginning crime/mystery writer.

Too historical in nature, no real life and up to date info1
This book reads like the author copied his facts from an encyclopaedia. There is no real, up to date info on the topic. This is what I, as a buyer, was looking for. I returned this book very disappointed. Writer's Digest should insist on having authors who really work in the field they are writing in, so as to lend authenticity. Some books in the Howdunit series that are far superior are Modus Operandi & Murder One, which were written by real-life detectives Paglino & Corvasce.
