After enjoying the two fictional titles by Joe Kenda, I decided to give his non-fiction title a read. I must say, I enjoyed the new real-life accounts he had to share.
Besides sharing more stories about his days as a detective, he also gives an account of his life. We get background on Joe’s ancestral routes, where he comes from, and what compelled him to become a detective in Colorado Springs. I rather enjoyed learning more about his backstory.
He also gives us a deep look into his family life, with accounts given by his wife and daughter and the impact his job had on them.
I also enjoyed a look into how he landed his TV series and the other jobs he had after retiring from the Colorado Springs police department.
I would call this book an autobiographical account of his life, besides sharing dark cases that weren’t aired on TV. My favourite part of the book is a deep look inside of his investigation and interrogation techniques.
If you are a fan of Joe Kenda or true crime, do yourself a favour and get a copy. Read about the life of a detective, his cases, and how it impacts his family life.
