Entertaining and interesting.

If you’re into this stuff, you should be familiar with most of the cases in this book, but it’s still great entertainment. Short stories, no bullcrap. Straight to the point, gory details, but not too much. The narrator is good, and sometimes it sounds like a radio show.
This is good fun, if you are a little weird, or interesting if you prefer to be serious about it.
