𝐔𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝: 𝐁𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I had to take a break from some of the romance I’ve been reading lately, and I don’t think that there is anything less romantic than some true crime.

We first meet Paul Holes in I’ll Be Gone In the Dark, the CSI who became as obsessed with GSK as Michelle did. (I’m actually re-reading this now, I should have done it before I picked up Unmasked.) Paul takes us through his life, how his career ruined his marriage, finding new love, and what is was like to tackle some of the most notorious cold cases we’ve ever seen.

It was extremely interesting to see the evolution of genetic and DNA testing as used for investigation. I wish there was more on some of his most memorable cases (there was a lot about GSK, maybe because it was his longest running cold case), but the book was full of information.

Be warned, this isn’t for the faint of heart or those who aren’t accustomed to reading True Crime. Holes doesn’t pull any punches with his descriptions.

Thank you so much to the author and @celadon for the ARC copy of this book.
