Bodies We've Buried: Inside the National Forensic Academy, the World's Top CSI Training School Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I reviewed this book for several newspapers and have my full published review posted at my online Science Shelf book review archive, where you can find details to support my conclusion.
The authors (Jarrett Hallcox and Amy Welch, not Bill Bass who only wrote the foreword) manage the world's premier CSI training program, but they are not trained scientists and sometimes misstate the science. Despite obvious errors (at least to someone with some scientific training), the book is good reading when the authors stick to their personal observations of the famed "Body Farm" and other venues of the ten-week hands-on training course.
They are also not professional authors, and better editing could have helped them avoid some lapses into self-promotion as well the above noted problems with the science. If you like watching the CSI franchise on TV and you're looking for entertainment without absolute accuracy, this book is a good choice.
