Killer Triggers

In this true-crime novel retired Colorado Springs Homicide Detective, Lt. Joe Kenda, recounts some memorable cases. These cases all have one thing in common, a killer trigger. From greed to madness these cases cover all the bases on what motivates murderers. Complete with his witty Kendaisms, and vivid descriptions of police procedures it’s a fantastic read for any true crime fan.

I am a fan of the show, Homicide Hunter, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to review this book. Lt. Kenda gives insights on the inner workings of a homicide investigation and a glimpse into his personal life during these investigations. His matter-of-fact style of writing pulls you in immediately. I have to give credit to his wife Kathy, she is a saint and he clearly values her love and support during his time as an investigator. His brand of gritty humor is not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this book to any true crime fan and fans of Lt. Joe Kenda.
