Great lady, great book. I am a Kentuckian, live near the state crime lab, and have a close friend who works at same said crime lab, so had a particular interest in this forensics book. I think Dr. Craig did an excellent job on this book, loved all her stories, but it ended too abruptly - needs a better closing to the book. Arrogant? Not in my estimation - if you want to see an arrogant anthropologist, read William Maples. ( )

the book tells true crimes in the u.s. ( )

The author's style is so insufferably arrogant and full of herself that I couldn't finish it. And yeah, I have read Maples (catalog view, tag = forensic) and found him much less so than St. Craig. ( )
