Book Cover from Goodreads.com

The Murder Room is a book based on the Vidocq Society. It was formed by three friends, William Fleisher, Frank Bender, and Richard Walter.

As you read through this book, you are going to be blown away by some of the cases that they cover. But you are also going to get a look at what the men behind this amazing society are like. Richard Walter I think was my favorite. He is someone that I would love to sit and have a conversation with. Frank Bender — you love to hate him, but he would still be interesting to chat with. William Fleisher is another you could sit and have coffee with for hours.

Now, as you delve into The Murder Room, you discover what makes these men tick. Find what caused them to look for the justice that was lost. Then you will cry over the cases. So many heartbreaking cases that cry out to be solved. There are so many out there that have yet to find closure, but someone knows something.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I wanted more. I was not ready for it to end. I read at any chance I could get, and I could not devour the pages fast enough. This is one of my top reads for the year. Finally, for those that love true crime, this is a book you CANNOT miss!
