This was very good, albeit a little dry and full of lots of esoteric vocabulary. It's to be expected from a scientist, I guess. It's fascinating to see how his life is so centered around bones, but even more interesting is how much information they can provide in a crime. The goriness of the crimes he reviews are lessened by his academic approach, which is a good thing. If you are interested in the history of forensics this is a great book.
