Written in Bone: Hidden Stories in What We Leave Behind by Sue Black

5.0

This book was written by a forensic anthropologist. She explains each of the bones, or at least in groups with their function, and at the same time, she tells you one, or several, criminal cases or stories from her investigations that focus specifically on said bone or set of bones.

The bones she hates the most are the ones in the foot, haha.

I loved it; I really liked the description of criminal cases, how anthropology helps to solve murders and the author, having a PhD, explains things in a very simple and funny way.

Criminal law is my jam, so it was not difficult for me to understand, but I deeply believe that even if you are not an expert on the subject, it is very easy to understand and like it, but keep in mind that it is quite scientific and not only about cases and mysteries.
