The Science of Murder: The Forensics of Agatha Christie

I have not read a lot of Agatha Christie books and short stories, but I after reading this I have a good overview of much of what she wrote. I also understand better why she was so important for the genre. She seems to be placed in the cozy mystery category, but that doesn't feel accurate. She kept herself on the cutting edge of forensic science to make sure the things in her stories were as accurate as possible. So in this overview of her work, we learn about the history of forensic science as well. So this is a little bit of Agatha Christie, a little bit of science, and a little bit of history.

⭐⭐⭐ – Great cover!

I am a true crime addict and I love Agatha Christie, so I was excited to dive into this one. The author clearly did a lot of research and that shows throughout the book. However, I found the writing to be a little all over the place and hard to get through at times. I did enjoy the poisons section and how they were used throughout history and in Agatha Christie's books.
