One of my most favorite books, The Alienist by Caleb Carr, is coming to TV on Monday on TNT with Luke Evans as the narrator, John Moore. However, if you plan to watch, I urge you to read the book first. It is set in 1890s NYC and the investigation of shocking murders using new forensics.. fingerprinting and psychology. Think Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper. This book fostered my love of historical crime solving fiction w/facts #CoSoBookClub
@ChippySuave Thanks! I had not yet heard of this show. I liked Mindhunter on Netflix for similar reasons, seeing the depiction of where behavioral science began with the FBI and catching criminals.
@SheResisted I am eagerly awaiting season 2 of Mindhunter. My son and I watched season 1 on a binge watch while he was home for Christmas Break. He's studying forensic science - physical evidence with a chemistry/criminal justice dual minor. 🙂
Did you get a chance to watch the first episode of The Alienist?
@ChippySuave Also, congrats to your son on cool degrees! Those are a real under taking, but should make for interesting career choices!
@SheResisted Thanks.. he's wanted that field of study since he was in middle school. He loves it.
