rayne_1906's review against another edition

dark informative slow-paced

3 hours 36 minutes - A brief but informative introduction to many aspects of forensic sciences, including many well-known processes (eg. fingerprinting) as well as some I'd never really thought about before (eg. entomology). I enjoyed reading about all the cases both past and present that have used the different forensic techniques discussed. However, sometimes it became a little dull to read, but only on occasions. Overall, a good read.
