Customer Reviews of Crime Scene

However, I found this book to be informative and very well written. Ragle talks to his readers and explains as he goes along. I like that. I also like the crime scene scenarios where he talks about a case and how he investigated it, how the evidence was found, how the suspect was captured and his prison sentence.

I think this book is helpful for writers because he talks about real investigators and real crime scenes. You can get an idea of what they do, when and how for a more realistic portrayal of your character. There is also inside stuff that happens at a crime scene and during an investigation that you wouldn't get unless someone on the inside, like Ragle, told you.

However, I do reccomend you find this in your bookstore, flip through it and see if it answers any questions you may have. It's fairly cheap if it were to be used for a reference book, which is why I bought it. For casual reading I wouldn't recommend it.

double check
i just got the book and have not finished reading it so i may comeback to review my review later. actually, these are comments.

on the first introduction page it referred to a old tv series "Quincy M.D.". i was a big fan of that old tv series and i remembered it as "Quincy M.E." medical examiner not medical doctor. played by jack klugman.

a quick search on the Internet for "Quincy M.D." a faq from www.inquire.net which explains why/how many people don't get the title of the tv show right. another search for "Quincy M.E." hits the jackpot.

i am not suppose to include URLs so check it out for yourself. it is so easy to do this that i am surprise to find this little mistake in the opening pages.

Walking in the Crime Scene Investigators Shoes
This novel is best read by someone that already has a very basic, technical knowledge of the mechanics of forensic work, but anyone that enjoys watching CSI will be fascinated by the book. I recently finished a basic course in Criminalistics and this book is putting all the mechanics of forensic work into actual use. Mr. Ragle breaks everything down into steps,such as from first on the scene to the end of the crime scene investigation using real cases, and explains why it's done that way. Very Easy Reading, Very Fascinating and Very Informative!
