How to Solve a Murder: True Stories from a Life in Forensic Science by Derek and Pauline Tremain.
Raring 4/5
Not exactly what I thought it was going to be as it did involve part of the Tremains personal lives. However, saying that, it really added substantial depth to the novel. I found it amazing to find how both the Tremains fell into their career paths. How Forensic Science evolved and took over their lives.
A fascinating insight of how dedication, long hours and sometimes luck led to many of the forensic procedures being part of the tools used today to bring criminals to justice.
A number of eminent scientists were mentioned. Particularly enjoyed the inclusion of the world-renowned anthropologist and anatomist, Dame Professor Sue Black.
Some of the cases in the novel were quite horrific, how can humans sink so low.
A worthwhile read, recommended.
Thank you Derek and Pauline Tremain, HarperCollins and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this novel. In return I have written an honest and unbiased review.

Great read
This was a audiobook for me and I felt like it dragged right at the beginning and then took off like a rocket. The narrators were John Sackville and Kim Hicks. They did a good job.I work in pathology and I’m a certified Histotechnian. I’ve assisted in autopsies and found everything in this book interesting. Of course I could follow everything going on because of my line of work. So I’m sure I can’t speak for everyone but I really liked this book.Things I learned about in this book: • How Death by drowning is determined • What Death by misadventure is. • Mass disaster deaths and the effects it has on the medical team. • The smell of death and how it stays with you. • Forensic imaging started for court cases.Thank you HarperCollins UK audio for this audiobook. I’m voluntarily leaving my review.
