18 Tiny Deaths: The Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee and the Invention of Modern Forensics by Bruce Goldfarb
4.0
I wasn't sure what I was going to think about this book based on the first few chapters, but it pretty quickly hooked me. I was not able to put this one down!
Modern forensics was lagging in the United States, until one woman, Frances Glessner Lee decided to get involved. Using her personal fortune, she helped to push along the development of some of the most crucial techniques out there.
Fantastic read, and one that I really enjoyed. Mrs. Lee sounds like a firebrand that I would have enjoyed knowing. Her go-get-em attitude left little room for disagreement, and her meticulous planning made sure that everything went according to plan.
