Restless Sleep: Inside New York City's Cold Case Squad Audiobook

" I couldn't finish this one. There was just too much about the politics of the NYPD and not enough about solving the cases. "

" Slogging through pages and pages of data and police politics to get to information about the cold cases makes this a tedious read. "

" They need a star rating for "meh". An in-depth look into a cold case unit that while interesting is poorly written and completely disjointed. Disappointing. "

" Nothing special. It seemed unbalanced. Stilted narrative arc and poor organization of what seemed like information inadequate to support a book of it's scope made this feel like it set out to go somewhere, didn't, then ended with a stymied shrug. "

" Solid police procedural meets anecdotal 20th century history of NYC. Perhaps the best part is how she does not solve any of the cold cases, highlighting what a terrible job these cops must have. "

" True crime in a journalistic diary type of view. It jumps around a lot between cases which can be hard to follow but not if you're sooooooper smart like me! "

" Interesting material. I found it a bit hard to keep track of certain facts/evidence because it jumps back and forth between cases. Not to mention all of the names. She does a great job of capturing the detectives frustration with how certain things are handled and the motivation behind their work. "

" Interesting coverage of the pursuit of murder cases gone cold. Some of the crimes are rather gruesome, but covered in a factual manner. The administrative aspects of NYPD law enforcement were interesting. Author emphasizes the long-term impact of cold cases and they shouldn't be left unsolved. "

" I love cold case file stuff, but why pick these cases for the book? Not a lot of action, and not very enthralling. I guess it was effective in "de-glamorizing" the cold case world where it pretty much must be frustration at every turn. "

" Well-researched but the organization was very disjointed. Five cases spread out over three sections, so you have to read a third of each one at a time. Frustrating. "

" Rosario liked this book. Some of the cold cases were solved after many years and some were never solved. "

" I enjoyed the inside look into the Cold Case Squad, but I wish there were more time devoted to the cases themselves. "
