I listened to this as an audiobook. The author was the narrator. It was fairly well narrated.
I really enjoyed learning about all of the cases that Edward did and how he figured out what happened. However, I thought that it focused a lot on his life, the courts, and on other stuff that I didn't think really mattered to the book. The overall focus of the novel seemed split in a way that I didn't think helped the novel. It was extremely interesting and I was glad to learn about some of the initial techniques of forensics and a forensic student myself. It was just kind of fragmented to me.
