Why read it?
1 author picked How to Solve a Murder as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a fantastically readable book about the world-famous Department of Forensic Medicine at Guy’s Hospital in London.
A little macabre at times, the most macabre on this list perhaps, it is always dosed with a good measure of humour. What is unique about the book is that it is told from the perspective of a husband and wife team working in the same department. You may enjoy CSI on TV but this is the real deal.
From Tim's list on forensic investigation in murder cases.
