My first book from Val McDermid and it didn't disappoint me. I had seen the series with Tony Hill, but this isn't one of those. I liked to see into one village so closed to strangers, I couldn't even believe there are actually places where people still live like that. I liked the plot, but sometime...
TITLE: Forensics: The Anatomy of Crime AUTHOR: Val McDermid DATE PUBLISHED: 2014 FORMAT: e-book ISBN-13: 978 184765 9903 _________________________ Forensics by Val McDermid takes a look at the variety of techniques and tools (forensic science) used by criminal investigators to solve a v...
It doesn't do what it says on the tin. The subtitle is "What bugs, burns, prints, DNA, and more tell us about crime" but it's actually more of a history of forensics. Unfortunately, it's a history of forensics that mostly tells of past cases in a disconnected fashion while occasionally dwelling far ...
If we presented Michael Faraday or Paracelsus with the scientific evidence our courts now take for granted, it would seem like magic to those most rigorous of researchers. And the advance of science has run hand in hand with corresponding advances in the delivery of justice. As much as I like McDer...

Series: Tony Hill & Carol Jordan #1 So this was weird. Definitely weird. I was interested enough to keep reading and I did like part of the ending, but there was definite weirdness going on. I mean, the phone calls...? And the people warning me about the gruesomeness really weren't kidding. Over...
This book explores the investigation of the disappearance of a thirteen year old girl in the 1960s from a tiny village (hamlet?) in England. It’s kind of hard to describe without getting into spoilers. It’s probably safe to say that someone does go to trial despite the fact that they never find her ...

Series: Inspector Karen Pirie #1 This book just felt long. We spent way too long in the 1970s when the original crime occurred, and it ended up feeling like wasted time because of the 25-year skip that happens almost 200 pages into it. Having finished the book, I can see why the author did it, but...
