Let us know when you get started!


Amanda (thescienceteacherreads) | 6 comments I have finished this one already! I really enjoyed learning about the start of some of the techniques that we use in the criminal proceedings. It was nice to see how they got started and even learn which ones have been improved and which ones we don't really rely on anymore.

I started American Sherlock today! it's a nice contrast from The Fact of a Body. I was worried it was going to be a bit dry but the writing is compelling! I'm really enjoying it so far! Looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts!

I just found out the author of American Sherlock has a podcast called Tenfold More Wicked!

Steph (stephhorrormama) | 2 comments I like this one a lot so far! I wasn’t sure about it since the crimes are older and sometimes discussion of forensics can be way to detailed and over my head, but it’s written really well!


Annie | 3 comments I really liked this book! It was a little dry here and there, but the dry parts didn't last very long. He lived such an interesting life.
