challenging dark informative medium-paced

4.5

I'm really quite fascinated by the accomplishments of Alexander Gettler and Charles Norris and their pioneering of forensic science. This book is exceptionally informative and I'm looking forward to the other books in the Brandy Schillace Peculiar Book Club season 2 session!
