This was an excellent non-fiction book written by a forensic Anthropologist working in Scotland. I will say that a regular audience picking this book up might find it a bit boring and morbid. But if you are someone that finds medical content fascinating and enjoys anatomy, this is definitely the book for you. I have a background in Anthropology (including some forensic Anthropology), so I was able to connect with a lot of what the author discussed. If you have that background, I highly recommend this book. It was absolutely amazing to hear the very important work that forensic Anthropologists are able to do. With only fragments of bone, they can often determine how someone died and give a body back its identity. They are even able to do this in cold case from decades past. Truly remarkable.
