"Murder is not a repeatable experiment. Every one is unique." McDermit provides a huge amount of information in an enjoyable and fascinating read with case histories and interviews from many experts. The budding or seasoned reader of crime novels will learn lots of insights into how crimes are solved on topics such as fire scene investigations, entomology, toxicology, blood splatter, fingerprinting and even forensic psychology. The author clearly shows how each of these scientific techniques help detectives in the non-fiction world solve crimes which thus allows the reader to better understand the solving of crimes in the world of fiction. In other words 'the dead talk'.
