Everyone of the Kay Scarpetta books has left me reeling, this one took the cake on the best one so far. I being the weirdo that I am took to google maps during parts of this book. I found "Camp Peary", "Williamsburg","I-64", I even went so far as to look for the church that is talked about in the book. It helped me to visualize and it was just kinda cool to see it on the map, then read the book. It was quite amazing. The storyline is great has the mystery of the killer, seems like they are hunting these couples down, all the while not leaving any traces of evidence. Making you think its connected to the CIA, you find yourself rooting for Marino, who seems to be going through a hard time, rooting for the infectious relationship of Kay and Mark. All the while trying to figure out who the killer is, this book is great, has a mindblowing twist right at the end too! If you have read Patricia Cornwell before, I fully believe you'll love this one!

A ton of research went into the writing of this book. I appreciate good research.
Be aware that O'Reilly purposely sticks to the history of the event. He is not attempting to "convert" anyone.

An excellent read...obviously a great deal of time and effort was put into researching the background for this book..keeps you wondering just who this woman truly was, and how a particular time in history can create the circumstances to commit a crime !

I find the criticisms of this book interesting, because it is an incredibly well-researched, thorough undertaking of the truth behind the Balkans and WWII.  Is it one sided?  When a scholarly undertaking reveals one ethnic group to be responsible for an atrocity, does that make it not objective by definition?  The answer is no.
This book directly refutes the claims of Serbs about their persecution in WWII (and their use of this claim in their subsequent purges of Croats, Muslims and Albanians).  The situation at the time was confusing, given all the factions that were at work at the time.  Further, even the official Yugoslavian data is either sealed from public review or patently suspect, giving rise to this book.
This book in no way minimizes the fact that many, many Serbs - in higher numbers than any other ethnic group, as is consistent with the population of the area - were victims of the Nazis.  However, it shows that many Serbs were also guilty of collaborating with whichever side was more convenient - which included Nazi Germany during the occupation.
This book is a great tool in the undertaking of study of the complexities of the Balkans and their long, bloody history.  I've read both books in this series, and find them to be quite well done and a necessity for any serious history library.

This book was well researched.  The author really delved into the character and motives of the people involved in this case.  There were many photos of the characters in the book which helped them come alive for me.  I normally do not read this kind of book but I found it to be gripping.  The author allowed you to draw your own conclusions based upon the evidence presented in the book.  A good read!

Without a doubt, the author has researched the subject of his book extremely well.  This book is written to read very smoothly.  The order the author presents the material flows well.

Good job!

Alex Beam is well researched. I am enjoying the depth of his work.  As an educator, I appreciate the expanse of his investigation of this important event.

The writer has put together a very well researched story. Lots of players both good and bad. He tied them all together very well. As I tend to really enjoy stories about the military and terrorists I am looking forward to reading more of his works.

I highly recommend this book. It was extremely well researched, scientifically backed and explained in concrete, easy to understand language. The author is able to make sense of complex information. I am looking forward to a sequel.

Very well researched. These authors were careful to state when something was an opinion or thesis, or something proven. I liked that.

This book is packed full of solid research. It's timely. It's tragic. Yes, the nation has problems...plenty of them...which will not be easily resolved but the book is somewhat a victim of its own success. Unlike most books that harp endlessly on one or two main points, this book is packed full of hard=hitting statistics, examples, historical and future trends. Page after page is packed solid...the author did an excellent job keeping it readable so you won't get bored nor overwhelmed. It doesn't insult the intelligence of the reader nor does it cater to "entry level" only...good blend of valuable information, solid research and a somewhat wide/expansive coverage.

Likewise, Crosi does a good job "bashing" both left and right equally so those inclined toward one view or another will either not be insulted or will find themselves equally insulted depending upon how personally they take criticism of each party. I'm not a "conspiracy theorist" and tend to avoid authors that lean in that direction however, unlike many authors that rely upon 'hype', Corsi presents an abundance of information to support his premise and position. Whether one agrees with the conclusions is entirely optional - the information itself is what makes this book well worth the time and effort to read.

Equally optional is the suggested means of protecting both self and nation...depending upon your personal situation, politics and other beliefs you may agree or disagree. Most is solid advice that would do little harm and has the potential to help the average citizen much more than most suggestions.

Bottom line...excellent research, extensive footnotes/references, minimal hype/hysteria enjoyable to read whether you "buy into" conspiracy theories or not.
