A fascinating history of forensic science July 23, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
An absolutely fascinating book about scientific detection and Sherlock Holmes's contributions to it in the age of Victoria. There are chapters covering pathology, poisons, disguises, ballistics, questioned documents, fingerprinting and disguises as well as detailed accounts of historic crimes that influenced the Holmes Canon. A witty, terrific read, which is as entertaining as it is informative. I couldn't put it down.
