The crimes of Paris : a true story of murder, theft,… por Dorothy Hoobler

They use the Mona Lisa story as a hook, it is a very small portion of the narrative, It doesn't matter, though, because the catalogue of other crimes on order is full and a mini-history of French forensics is provided. Enjoyable read

The crimes of Paris : a true story of murder, theft,… por Dorothy Hoobler

The pacing was strange. The long introduction was a bit of a slog, and spacing the Mona Lisa mystery out as the author did was vaguely frustrating, especially because there wasn't quite enough content to it to justify its prominence in the book.

I'm sure it was tough to get all this to hang together, and the author mostly succeeded. But it was still a choppy read sometimes.… (más)
