Michael Baden

I have been interested in forensic science, particularly forensic pathology, since I was in about 7th grade (early '60s). I am endlessly fascinated with this subject. So I had high hopes for this book. Baden is a nationally known forensic pathologist. But he is far too aware of his own reputation. Rather than informative, I found this to be egotistical.

Excellent book. It grabs your interest and doesn't let go until the last page. A fascinating insight into the world of the pathologist with clear descriptions and explanations of a grisly subject lightened with a respectful sense of humour.

This was very intriguing. I did not have an inkling of of who the perpetrators were.

It's an easy read but the storyline is a bit slow, lacks investigative plots (everything investigated fits together too easily) and the ending is a little predictable and therefore disappointing.
