Beyond the Body Farm: A Legendary Bone Detective Explores Murders, Mysteries, and the Revolution in Forensic Science by William M. Bass
3.0
Another 3.5
I didn't like this book as well as Death's Acre, although some of the forensic stories in it were intriguing. It does do a good job putting the technology in real perspective, showing where all the TV shows are jumping the gun or simplifying the procedures that get them to the answer. One thing I really like about Bill Bass's books, however, is that along with teaching you about forensics, he does his best to solve the case. Some of his mysteries are never resolved, but he does his best to make clear whatever he can.
