Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon

Started: 8/28/18
Finished: 10/21/18
Year: 1991
Pages: 631
Genre: True Crime
Grade: A
Reason for reading: grabbed off TBR shelf
Blurb: David Simon was hesitantly welcomed into Baltimore's Homicide Division for a year. This is his account.
Opinion: When I discovered the TV Show "Homicide" several years ago, I loved it. I enjoyed the writing and saw David Simon's name attached. I discovered that he had written this before the show. This makes readers feel like they are with the homicide detectives when they are called for a new murder and the attempts that they take in order to solve the mystery. If you are a fan of police procedural TV shows, you should take a look at this book.
