Forensics: The Anatomy of Crime
Ratings5
Average rating4.4
The dead talk. To the right listener, they tell us all about themselves: where they came from, how they lived, how they died - and who killed them. Forensic scientists can use a corpse, the scene of a crime or a single hair to unlock the secrets of the past and allow justice to be done. Bestselling crime author Val McDermid draws on interviews with top-level professionals to delve, in her own inimitable style, into the questions and mysteries that surround this fascinating science.

Review:
I've never read a mystery book by Val McDermid, but I figured reading a factual, non-fiction book from an author's perspective would be interesting to me as I read a lot of mystery and crime, anyway. This book is well structured and formatted on my Kindle, so it's easy to read through each section. I particularly enjoyed the aspects of forensic psychology because that's what most relevant to me. This book is informative but straightforward, so it wasn't mind-blowingly unique to me. I would recommend this book as a good starting point for people interested in forensics. Therefore, I gave this book 4 stars.
