Retro-Review: In Cold Blog

Retro reviews are blogs we reviewed in the early days of this blog, before we achieved our present readership.


REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: YES 

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: In Cold Blog

WEB ADDRESS: incoldblogger.blogspot.com

BLOG DESCRIPTION: A true crime blog authored by the leading voices in the genre.

OUR REVIEW: In Cold Blog is a fascinating and invaluable blog for those people interested in true crime. Crime – and law enforcement, is covered in all its facets here. There’s a long essay on the art of writing a traffic ticket, for example. According to the author, small towns who write traffic tickets don’t actually make much money on the deal, as people who get stopped tend to believe, and a stop is always problematical for the police officer, who never knows what kind of driver he’s going to get.

Then there’s an article on a website that promotes guys having sex with unconscious women (I can see CSI doing a show on that), and another one on the hazards of Sexting – where teenage girls send nude photos of themselves to their boyfriends, who then turn around and distribute them to everyone else, resulting in humiliation for the girl – well stupid is as stupid does, there…

Highly recommended for the true crime aficionado, and those interested in the intricacies of law enforcement.
