What a "strange" book to start the new year! As the title of the book suggests, the story has so much to do with how "mind" perceive things/incidents and then starts acting on its own!! It is kind of unbelievable unless you go deep into it on google and articles...
The author is an American true crime writer who began her career in law enforcement as policewoman so her understanding is deep which is clearly visible in how she puts all on crime and settlement.
It is a good book but surprisingly very low profile and covered all over.
