What you will not find: - Why only the Jewish Holocaust is as known as it is than the Nanking massacre when the bloodshed was too substantially large to be hidden.

Easy read Yet disturbing. Gives an insight of what a profiler has to do: Seek patterns, motives and the like. Also if you are into criminal psychology genre, consider reading " Without conscience: the disturbing world of psychopaths " By Dr. Robert D. Hare and "Final truth: the autobiography of a serial killer" of Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins.

Not too many subplots. Easy read. Quick read. No meandering of story. It has an essence more of a long story than a novel. Good to read while travelling. Mild thriller. A bit Anticlimactic in my opinion. But it's a Christie book so it's worth a shot.
