Title: Private Investigations: How to Be Successful!
Review: I bought three how to detective books and this one was the most expensive and totally lame. If you are interested in a 1950-ish Polly Annish commercial on the exciting world of being a private detective, then this is the book for you. Repetitive and dull presentation of the most obvious and mundane facts that are basically useless. If it had presented the real business issues around being a detective, pros and cons, options for dealing with such matters that would be one thing. Instead this book is akin to the most gung-ho military recruiter who will only speak in the most glowing and simplistic of terms. A total waste of time and money. Just say no! Outstanding books instead are Be Your Own Detective and the amazingly thorough Get the Facts on Anyone. The former has more about the nature of the business, the latter an incredible compendium of investigative techniques.
Is the review positive or negative?
