Even if they arent’ strictly necessarily, they can add so much to a book, especially nonfiction, by helping to fill out your mental image of the scene.

I constantly flipped back to the map while reading, and I’d love to see floor plans in more books. It made everything rather thrilling as I tried to figure out which routes people took. I also liked the photos of the suspects; I got chills while looking at certain faces, even before knowing who the murderer was.

The public’s reaction to Mr. Whicher’s accusations was fascinating; how they refused to believe him, and why.
