various experts and comments on famous cases

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. ( )

Good for someone new to the subject of forensic science, but a little too basic for me. Also, some of the writing was a bit self-aggrandizing...

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.

Awesome book. Really goes into great detail about the science in forensic science. ( )
