Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless by Laurah Norton
informative

3.0
This wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but it was informative and the author's voice and reading narration were engaging. I didn't realize the author was also a podcast host, and I'm not sure I would have chosen this read had I known. I'm not particularly interested in cold case, murder, or true crime podcasts, and I find that reading true crime is something I prefer to approach sparingly because it can easily lead to me feeling a little paranoid or creeped out. I am more interested in forensic anthropology stuff when it pertains to larger, mass crimes instead of individual murders. So this wasn't quite the right book for me, but for a reader who's curious about the work that goes into cold case exploration this was very informative and felt respectful of everyone concerned.
