reviewed Forensic science handbook on September 26, 2013 Forensic science handbook
This was the assigned textbook for a course in forensic death investigation that I took this past spring. It is both fascinating and informative, though perhaps not the best choice for a layperson, since there is quite a lot of technical medical terminology throughout. There are also a lot of photographs, which were helpful as visual reference for the conditions and injuries discussed. They are rather graphic, so I don't know that I'd recommend this book to someone with a squeamish stomach.
For people going into a forensic/medicolegal field, however, or even for fiction writers of related genres, DiMaio and DiMaio have provided an excellent reference.
