It's ok. I enjoyed learning new facts about Richard that you can't really find on the internet. But for Richard fans, half of this book is information about detectives and investigators, their hobbies and interests. Celebrations and correspondence between each other, often times with no mention of Richard. The average reader of this book probably won't care what college the lead investigator went to or how they rose up the ranks in the police force but I suppose it makes for good filler. Other than that, the book was written well and descriptive, makes you feel like you're actually there. But the trial part of the book mentioned nearly ever single miniscule irrelevant detail to the point it was painful to get through.
