No Stone Unturned is an absolutely fantastic book. It was basically everything I wanted it to be, and I know I'll read it again. The overview of the history of forensic science was thorough and presented well. It was definitely a crash course in the essentials and sets everything up really well. The author did a great job of showing how NecroSearch International became what it is today. Every specific case was fascinating and illustrated a different side of NecroSearch International. If you like hearing about the detective side of true crime or if you like true crime documentaries, you have to pick this book up.
It's possible I connected with the stories a bit more than others will, considering where the majority of the crimes take place and my chosen career path.
There was a little bit of repetition that I think is meant to reinforce certain ideas, but it really wasn't needed and seemed cheesy. The ending didn't feel rushed, but it did seem like it just sort of ended. It didn't necessarily need more, but a longer conclusion might have been nice, if not completely necessary for comprehension.

For my money, the first part of the book about the members of Necrosearch tends to drag a bit. That said, all of the cases discussed are fascinating.
A bit repetitive at times but so compelling, moving and just generally interesting, it's all fine with me.

Good book, very interesting. Lots of detail about the work that forensics do to solve a crime. Real stories from US.
