The author has compiled a collection of synopses of high profile murder cases.  The facts are presented in an unemotional way, which I appreciated.  I was able to have my own emotions rather than be led by the author.  I enjoyed remembering some cases, and discovering a few new ones.The last chapter is a departure from the rest of the book.  The author uses this chapter to vent some of her passion for Asian women who are victims of the acid attacks.  She uses the high profile Pakistani victim, who brought the issue to world-wide attention.  She references the Oscar-winning documentary, and that director's emotional connections to the subject.  Having seen that documentary, I highly recommend it.If you are a student of criminology, this book is "murder light."  If you want a glancing overview, this is an excellent reference source for that.
