Homicide: The View from Inside the Yellow Tape | Cloyd Steiger
3 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
Cloyd Steiger worked the streets of Seattle as a Homicide Detective for 22 years of his 36 year career. During that time he worked some of the most notorious murders in Seattle, from serial murderers, domestic terrorists and psychotic killers. In his true crime memoir, Homicide: The View from Inside the Yellow Tape, he describes some of the most interesting murders he's worked on. Often shocking, often inane and even funny, it's a view you won't see on the evening news. A look inside the yellow tape; inside the interrogation room, where you come face to face with pure evil, and see what it's like to investigate murder.

My new years resolution for this year was to read more books and to watch less TV. My proclamation is a bit late since I've already got 10 books done and it's now the middle of March. 😅 Anyways, here's to a well read year!

This is the memoirs from Detective Steiger‘s decades long career with the Seattle PD. Most of that time he was in Homicide, reading this book you get the inside workings of how a Homicide detective thinks. This is a must read for anyone who is a true crime buff especially back in the 80‘s and 90‘s before all the forensic science came on the scene. It‘s so different now, that‘s what I liked about this book, it shows how police work has evolved.

I admired Mr. Steiger‘s brutally honest account of his life as a Homicide Detective. It brought back a lot of memories that I‘ve long buried. I‘ve worked with detectives like him who didn‘t exactly play by the rules and they always had the highest clearance rate, he cut through the BS and got his killer. This is an inside look at what a real homicide detective goes through. It‘s a hard life and one could assume it‘s a calling.
