Violent, provocative, shocking. Call them what you will, but don't call them open and shut.
Did Lizzie Borden murder her own father and stepmother? Was Jack the Ripper actually the Duke of Clarence? Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? America's foremost expert on criminal profiling and 25-year FBI veteran John Douglas, along with author and filmmaker Mark Olshaker, explores those tantalizing questions and more in this mesmerizing work of detection. With uniquely gripping analysis, the authors reexamine and reinterpret the accepted facts, evidence, and victimology of the most notorious murder cases in the history of crime, including the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the Zodiac Killer, and the Whitechapel murders. Utilizing techniques developed by Douglas himself, they give detailed profiles and reveal chief suspects in pursuit of what really happened in each case. The Cases That Haunt Us not only offers convincing and controversial conclusions, it deconstructs the evidence and widely held beliefs surrounding each case and rebuilds them - with fascinating, surprising, and haunting results.

Content: For the most part this book was well written and researched. The author is obviously full of himself but he also deserves respect for what he’s accomplished. I thought his insights into the cases were truly eye opening. He mentioned his bias during the Ramsey case but downplayed the significance. Until this case, he was critical and complimentary in equal measures to the police. However, I found his wording and tone when dealing with the Ramsey case to be overwhelmingly antagonistic and dismissive. He mentioned another profiler’s version that seemed more realistic than the version he provided but was practically condescending towards it. I would suggest ending the book prior to the Ramsey case or if you’re like me prepare for some eye rolling and commentary.
Performance: The narrator absolutely saved this book and is the reason this gets 4 stars instead of 3. He presents the material in an engaging and instructive tone which my ADHD fully appreciated. I will 100% be on the lookout for more books that’s he’s narrated.

It is not his job to catch the "bad guy/gal" but to assist investigators - when he is called in at the time - in finding the right one.
The Medical Examiner can tell you the cause of death and information on other marks on the body, what the victim ate, w/in a certain parameter the time of death BUT he cannot tell you Whodunnit. So it is with other forensic experts in a case. None of their evidence is fully relevant until they have suspects.
John Douglas can give his evaluation of type of crime and type of suspect - but then someone else has to find him/her.
