This is the book I am reading right now. The Shoemaker (the previous one) was not a very good book, much to my disappointment. In my opinion, the author seemed a bit biased to me. She was not a psychologist or a psychiatrist and yet she believed everything Joseph Kallinger told her and she really and truly believed that he was psychotic and had no control over his actions (when he murdered people). I find that pretty hard to swallow. Diagnosing someone with mental problems is not an immediate thing. You don't just meet someone several times and say, "Yes, he's crazy." I think the author realized that she could ride on the popularity of this criminal and rarely questioned his statements or tried to verify it. So yes, I didn't like the book that much but the story WAS interesting, so too bad.
This next book is of course, another Agatha Christie book. After reading a bad book, my faith in good reads is always returned after I read an Agatha Christie book. So, it's a good thing we have lots of Agatha Christie books here. =D
