informative

2.0

This book was well written. And I liked that it included so many personal moments of the authors journey, making the overall book feel less like a cut and dry deep dive explanation into the world of solving Doe cases. The author did a good job of adding these moments in just as the technical terminology was getting overwhelming for me. 

I went out on a limb here trying. To read this book which is so different from my normal genre. And while I recognize it was well written, I also recognize that this book was not for me. So the rating is of my personal experience having a hard time getting into and enjoying this read based on my preference. It is not about the authors ability to write an informative novel. 

Thanks NetGalley and Hachette Books for the ARC of this book.
