An excellent peak behind the scenes.

Admittedly, it was a struggle to get into this one at first due to the excellent pronunciation by Paul. No fault of his, he is very well spoken, I just wasn't used to hearing someone speak so clearly.

I loved this book and so did my husband. We started it on a road trip and binged through the rest when we got home.

This is not just another true crime book, in fact, you don't even need to be a true crime fan to enjoy it. Paul draws you in with his relatability. He grabs your attention by providing just enough detail about the cases to get you hooked. He shares so much about his personal strengths and struggles that it almost feels like you're reading a journal at times, and keeps you invested in the person behind the words. The compassion he has for his case victims is both honorable and astounding. He mentions several times that he has to switch to a different mode while working to box out the emotions.

Spoiler alert: he does discuss his work on GSK which I'm sure most people are interested in if they're reading this book. Throughout the entire book he is paying honor and respect to various people he's encountered in his life, making his character even more endearing.

In the end, this is a book about a man's weaknessses and victories and how those shaped his life. Though it's not just a tell-all report, it's an open and honest look into what people in his position have experienced. Highly recommend.
