Really inspired me to pursue DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response). This book is about different cases that Mike Sheward resolved under his tenure. It really draws in the reader as he goes through different cases. It is about his point of view and his thought process. This is not a technical book where he details the tools and things he used. It's just good old investigative stories from a Cyber perspective, unlike high-profile cases, murder, types of books.

Really enjoyed the forensic stories. The scenarios were entertaining and engaging. The only odd thing about the book was the way it was printed. Some pages only had text on half the page. Really odd.
