    Thank you very much for the add. As a psychology major and daughter of a prison guard True Crime has always fascinated me. I'm a voracious reader as well.

Reviews:

"'Mop Men' is half true crime, half memoir. It's either the most emotionally involved crime book I've ever read, or the goriest memoir" Bucky Sinister - New York Post

"For a totally gonzo way of looking at the crime scene cleaning business, try this engrossing, wisecracking assessment of a world we know exists but ignore as we go about our lives," Publishers Weekly

"Alan Emmins has done something masterful here. 'Mop Men' takes you places that you never thought you'd go, introducing you to characters who typically live in the shadows. Compulsory reading for the crime-obsessed, equal parts disturbing and fascinating," Brad Listi, author of Attention. Deficit. Disorder.

"A grueling indictment of modern American culture" the Independent


"Emmins' is a more than human portrait" Dazed & Confused

"...ghoulish fascination and educational value" the Guardian

"Salty, sassy, non-stop running off at the mouth commentary!" the Times

"An absolutely fascinating book!" Robert Elms - the BBC

"Emmins’ portraits are tender and often shake his self-confidence to its core." the Metro
