The Case of the Zodiac Killer

by Diane Yancey

Crime solving is painstaking, but modern methods and technological advances have significantly changed the field of criminal investigation. Clues to crimes both spectacular and ordinary can now be found in the tiniest bits of evidence thanks to cutting-edge forensic techniques. Crime Scene Investigations examines the fascinating world of the criminal investigator and other professionals who are on the front line of solving today's (and some of yesterday's) most notorious crimes. All books feature crime statistics, career information, explanations of crime-solving techniques, and crime-busting facts. In addition, bibliographies for further research, full-color photographs, charts, and a detailed index are also included.

This book had all the proper ingredients: this is the Zodiac speaking, his comparison with the Boogey Man, the hooded killer, victims, letters, the ciphers, the hunt of the Zodiac, the most popular suspect, investigations going nowhere and the murderer still at large. Inside you'll find many photos and I really like the colourful case book design. Really recommended!

This book was very interesting, but didn't catch my attention as much as I thought it would. While I do love learning about serial killers, I already knew most of the information in this book. I would recommend it to anyone who loves crime.

A good middle school recommendation for students looking for true crime. Interesting and I learned some things.
