I nearly didn't bother, given that she wasn't even trying with the last one, but I'm glad I did. It's not as good as some of the earlier volumes in the series, and it's certainly not great literature, but the mysteries were enjoyable (if largely predictable) and I read the last 2/3 all at one go.
She raises a point about the importance of using board certified professionals for all of your forensic needs (the book as a whole is a manual of what happens if governments try to cut corners and use interested amateurs instead). That's the actually scary part - I'd rather not have my remains mis-identified, thanks.
