Summary: A Darker Side of Life
Comment: This type of book is the not a genre that I would normally read. The book was given to me at Christmas by my brother in law. I'm not sure what that says about his interpretation of me.
To true crime buffs, this is probably a great book. However, to the more geneal reader such as myself, I often found the writing style tedious and self-congratulatory. The cases are often fascinating, it is the style that grates.
In spite of the style, there are some highlights to the book. The Sam Shepard where he murdered his wife and the events of Waco Texas are bizarre to the extreme. The Buddhist temple massacre is a display of humanity at its worst. There is truly some real evil locked away in some members of the population. McCrary is simply outlining the facts that the rest of us may choose to ignore.
Finally, if nothing else, this book proves that although true crime literature has its followers, I am not one of them.

Summary: Light in the Darkness
Comment: This book masterfully captures the minds of readers with untold tales of true crime that have defined our world. Gregg McCrary is the Sherlock Holmes of behavioral profiling. Smooth transitions between recounts of his most prolific assignments will keep you glued. A must read!

Summary: wow
Comment: Two of the cases Mr. McCrary worked on were near our home. I was intrigued by how these profilers operate and can figure out what kind of person the police should be looking for, What the bad guy wears, drives, will look like ,his age , what kind of work he does. what he will do and act like when apprehended. It is very exciting stuff.We owe a lot to the men and women in law enforcement and the men and women in law enforcement owe a lot to te profilers whe make their jobs much easier.
