How to Solve a Murder: True Stories from a Life in Forensic Medicine by Pauline Tremain, Derek Tremain
2.0
I received an advance copy of this audiobook through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
As someone with an interest in true crime I was intrigued by this title and decided to give it a listen. The book follows the careers of a couple who work in forensic pathology over several decades, with frequent in depth explanations of the various processes they use.
This book goes into significant amounts of detail and is not one for anyone remotely squeamish. I found some of the information given interesting but ultimately did not particularly enjoy the book. This may be because I am more interested in the psychological aspects of crime, though I did struggle with the pacing of the book and some of the views shared by the authors, which felt a little dated.
I’d recommend this book to those particularly interested in the physical side of crime but would otherwise give it a miss.
