YACriminal Investigations series.
Each book discusses a category of crime and how authorities try to solve it. Cases described range from Jack the Ripper's murders to Winona Ryder's shoplifting. The books are thorough and informative but sometimes resort to flash over substance (e.g., a chapter titled "Lethal Ladies"). Photographs and sidebars appear throughout. There are six other fall 2008 books in this series. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Criminal Investigations titles: Celebrities and Crime, Gangs and Crime, Serial Killers, Unsolved Crimes, and Child Abduction and Kidnapping.
