Sue Black does a wonderful job teaching the importance of forensic anthropology from head to toe. As a long-time crime drama fan, I was fascinated by the way Black was able to use her fruitful career as a catalyst to introduce or explain the human anatomy. The information was dumbed down enough for most people to understand what part of the anatomy was being described and was easy enough to follow along with very little medical background. I would recommend this for any aspiring forensic investigator or, like me, the average crime enthusiast.

The tone and paxing of this book is excellent. I looked forward to hearing what Sue Black would be up to next. There does need to be a strong trigger warning for chapter 8, so please look into that.
