Murder Under the Microscope: A Personal History of Homicide by Jim Fraser

3.0

I just ... for me, this was just marred by the author constantly laying into the Police, repetitively so the the title could easily have been ‘why the Police suck at investigating murder’ and that became the main point. It started to really bore me, not because I have any basis to disbelieve him, but because it’s not what I bought the book to read so maybe devoting one chapter to the problems with the system would have been better than bringing up the same gripes continually . I thought it would be about the authors own experiences in forensic science but actually it was more about ‘here are all the ridiculous things the police and other scientists have done over the years’
