Book Review of Beyond the Body Farm: A Legendary Bone Detective Explores Murders, Mysteries, and the Revolution in Forensic Science

reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


Overall very interesting, I enjoyed reading it. My only complaint was that Mr. Bass quotes someone who was incorrect and didn't go back and check the facts. He quoted someone saying that Texas still used hanging as the death penalty (that stopped in 1924). If he made one glaring error, then what else might also be wrong. I like to read well researched, factual material. Now, I will always doubt his veracity, although I will probably read other books that Mr. Bass has written.
