Corpses on the Menu: Blood, Bullets and Bones

Chapter nine is devoted to the subject of forensic anthropology. Chapter ten is all about criminal profilers. The final chapter, chapter eleven, is on the use of DNA evidence. Each chapter is packed with information, packed with case examples. It was so informative; it was really organized. I just found it to be a compelling read. I'm happy to recommend it.

Jun 02, ranne rated it really liked it Shelves: Yet the fact that there are still sooo many cold cases now suggest that our knowledge of forensic science is still lacking. That, or there really are so many perfect crimes. Nevertheless, the evolution of forensic science is awe-inspiring. This was a really enjoyable read. The featured murder stories are well-narrated; though all are short, they never lacked the essential details and are very informative.

I received a review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Sep 30, Ari Tinius rated it it was amazing. I could not put this book down.

Oct 10, Ben Arce added it. Blood, Bullets, and Bones by Bridget, gives the reader an interesting inside look on forensic science. In this book, the acclaimed author Bridget Heos uses real-life cases to tell the fascinating history of modern forensic science, from the first test for arsenic poisoning to fingerprinting, firearm and blood spatter analysis, DNA evidence, and all the important milestones in between.

Forensic science has been kept relevant not only because it is vital to crime solving, but by popular tv shows l Blood, Bullets, and Bones by Bridget, gives the reader an interesting inside look on forensic science. Forensic science has been kept relevant not only because it is vital to crime solving, but by popular tv shows like CSI: Naval Criminal Investigative Service. This book does a great job at demonstrating the essential role forensic science played in our justice system. This book covers a wide range of real-life cases. From train robberies, to poisonings, to cover ups, and straight up murders.

I would recommend the reading level to be 8th grade and up. It is such an interesting read but can become gory in details at points throughout the book. Blood, Bullets, and Bones will keep you entertained from start to finish. It really dives deep into just how far we have come to putting the finishing touches on solving crimes.

Mar 05, Joselyn Bennett rated it did not like it. The book is all about how coroners and their ways of determining the cause of death of bodies, it was pretty boring. The book starts with telling the reader about how Chinese would determine the cause of death by just examining the body, and compares it to all the tests and things we do to figure out the cause of death. It talks a lot about arsenic, and how it was used very commonly to kill people because then it made it seem like a natural death. I would not recommend reading this book unless you like learning about historic murders.

I'm not big on nonfics but after seeing this on Edelweiss, I just couldn't not read it because forensic science! But of course that's a stretch. I learned so many things from this book. From the science of murder investigations to the State Also posted on The Procrastinator's Corner This is my first time to review a nonfiction book and this is also the first nonfiction I've read this year!

From the science of murder investigations to the State laws which doesn't really have any significance to me unless Philippines and USA have the same laws but it's nonetheless interesting. Serial killers stories have always fascinated and terrified me.

But reading this book, I have come to the conclusion that murder investigations are x even more captivating and impressive. Science truly is amazing.

But even if it has greatly evolved compared to centuries ago, it's true that it's still lacking in some aspects and the state laws still have several loopholes. It's so depressing to read about people who were wrongfully convicted of crimes they didn't commit only to be exonerated 30 years later. In worse cases, they die from death sentence before their innocence is proved several years later. But, it's also terrifying when the ones who truly committed the crime gets acquitted only to confess to it after.

This book is very fast paced. There were no dull moments because it doesn't linger very long on any one case and the accounts are all brief and straight to the point, and neutral too. The transitions between stories are very smooth as well which made this unputdownable. I rarely read nonfiction books If I do at all but for me this was a really good read.

Four Poems by Mohamed A. Eno

While the reeling havoc rages. Ferocity of acts passionless. Incurring her indignities thoughtless;. Ooze of virginity blood ceaseless. And the undignified body lifeless. Those bogus warriors mindless. The beautiful one lays motionless. Thugs applauding anarchy senseless. A lot among the cursed, faithless.

When Dubbad gave us that glance. In swelled face of annoyance. We looked down in avoidance. Taking refuge in our silence. It hurt; the lack of prominence. Disturbance to his intelligence. For which he lacked inheritance.
