Portrait of a Killer by Patricia Cornwell - This is another Jack the Ripper book, but it's a bit different. Cornwell is known best for her Kay Scarpetta novels, so this book reads like a novel. It is well written and very interesting. A slightly different take on this old serial killer case.

The Shack is another great book that is supposed to be true. Both had great impact on my thinking.

I feel the book was a bit ahead in her lifetime and the memoir does not make a compelling read.
Many loose ends like what happened to the other two who were shot in the same incident as Malala. How have they been taken care of in their home country while only Malala got airlifted and then totally relocated to UK with her family joining her, thereafter.
Is only spreading awareness while sitting in a safe place worth all that fame! What are some of the daily struggles still ongoing in her home country and how is she supporting that, if she is living a totally different and comfortable life elsewhere?
Would "Moniba" her close friend who excelled her sometimes, would have been equally successful, if she had a father like Malala's? And the answer to that may be affirmative as her father has been her support and the initiator in getting Malala the 'spotlight' all the time. Which makes me feel this book should have been titled as "I am Malala's father".
The writing feels like very high school language conversation at times and sometimes even the
normal events seem exaggerated. I think the book is too overrated for what it delivers.
