Welcome to Litsy!

Starting my year off with this! Super excited to read through the Vidoqc society story again.
What‘s everyone‘s goal for 2022?

A detective, forensic artist, and forensic psychologist decided to start a group to review cold murder cases and help out law enforcement with this meeting of the minds. The first half of this book, detailing the history of the men, is really interesting. Then it drags and becomes a fawning look at the artist and psychologist, who are portrayed as professionally infallible. A missed opportunity.

True story - once a month in Philadelphia, 82 of the top investigators and forensic specialists meet to solve cold cases. Named after renowned French policeman and rogue, the Vidocq Society only looks at cases more than two years old, and only at the request of the investigating police force, with a claimed 90% success rate. Capuzzo‘s telling of their story is fascinating, even if it does slip into the maudlin occasionally.

I‘m finally getting around to reading this book that you sent me last year @FantasyChick ! It‘s the perfect day to read and stay indoors. It‘s so blustery outside. 💨 I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday.

So I guess women don‘t fix things?? 🤦🏼‍♀️ #SentencesThatMakeMeWantToBail

Is it just me or are these margins really off??

Thank you so much for the wonderful #AllHallowsReadBookExchange package @FantasyChick ! It's absolutely wonderful. Your book choices were spot on, very well picked on your part. I'm so looking forward to reading all of these, a couple of which I hadn't heard of before. And the Halloween items are great! I feel very spoiled. So glad that we were paired - twins!👍🏽💜🎃👻💀

#TBRtemptation post 6! This #truecrime book looks at the Vidocq Society, its 3 founders (an FBI agent-cum-P.I., a psychic lothario, & a profiler dubbed "the living Sherlock Holmes"), & the cold-cases they've solved. Named after the Parisian detective who inspired Doyle to create Sherlock Holmes, they gather the world's best investigators for lunch at a Victorian-style room in Philly, & then figure out long-cold cases. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
