Reviews for Forensic Medicolegal Injury and Death Investigation

"""On the whole, I enjoyed working my way through this book... Despite this book being fairly suitable for anyone working with or alongside medical Forensic evidence (including students who will be working in these fields), I would specifically recommend this book for professional practitioners, purely down to the amount of technical detail and cross referencing to (American) working processes."" Greg Satchell, The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences"
