Editorial Reviews

"...a largely personal narrative by Inge Sebyan Black...Black was trained in both the Reid method of interviewing (confrontational) and the Wiecklander-Zulawski model (non-confrontational)...both have their place in an interviewer/interrogator's development." —Security Letter, The Art of Investigative Interviewing, Third Edition

"... takes the reader through the art of interviewing from A to Z and will have something interesting for all readers who need to conduct interviews." —ASIS Dynamics

"Her conclusion - that investigative interviewing is an art ‘because each of us makes it such’ and each has their own practised technique - is inspiring. This book is a credit to private investigation beside a useful guide for the novice and professional alike." —Professional Security Magazine Online, May 28, 2014

"This impressive book keeps in mind the goal of an interview (fact-finding) and the need for flexibility and detachment…If you only have a spare minute, turn straight to the snappy, three-page final chapter ‘100 things you should know’…This book is a credit to private investigation beside a useful guide for the novice and professional alike." —Professional Security Magazine Online, January 4, 2014
