A very engaging read for me.

I enjoyed the covering a lot of topics but found some chapters too short but appreciated the bibliography at the end for further reading.

Another part I appreciated was the reiterations throughout that forensic science doesn't present 100% facts but can just be likeliness or possibilities.

Would really enjoy an updated version with the latest science and technology.
