This is one of those rare times when I read and enjoyed a non-fiction title. Michelle Dresbold is a handwriting expert who often works with law enforcement agencies helping them profile and identify criminals based on their handwriting. The book is fairly short and is definitely meant for those who enjoy reading true crime stories. Dresbold provides the basics of identifying one's character and proclivities based on their handwriting and then uses handwriting samples of well-known serial killers and famous personas to support those principles. Ted Bundy, Bonnie and Clyde, the Ramseys and Jack the Ripper all make an appearance throughout the book. Dresbold also includes her take on some famous cold cases based on handwriting analysis. I really liked her theory on who Jack the Ripper was and the analysis of the note left behind in JonBenet Ramsey's case. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in handwriting analysis and true crime. I am usually not someone who reads about serial killers, but I did like the examples Dresbold used in this book. Four out of five stars: a very interesting and informative book.
