About this listen
The gripping new book by the UK's most eminent forensic scientists, Angela Gallop
CRIME [Noun]: An action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law
Forensic science is one of the most important aspects of any criminal investigation. The impartial and objective evidence it provides can help convict the guilty. It enables courts to have the confidence in their decisions and to ensure that justice is done.
Professor Angela Gallop has been at the forefront of forensics for more than 45 years. During her remarkable career, she has established and run forensic science laboratories and has worked on thousands of cases in the UK and across the world. In How to Solve a Crime, she describes some of her own and her colleagues most intriguing cases and the wide range of skills and techniques used to solve them.
Whether it's looking at blood patterns and footwear marks at crime scenes to work out what happened, extracting data from suspects mobile phones to discover where they were at critical times, or analysing fragments of textiles fibers, glass or paint to determine where they might have come from, Gallop shows that every contact really does leave a trace and every trace can help to solve a crime.
With unparalleled access and insight across a wide range of specialisms, How to Solve a Crime is a fascinating definitive and authoritative account of real-life forensic science.

A good introduction to UK forensic science
This is a mine of information on the subject of forensic science and the importance of the work - much more than just producing some DNA results like a rabbit from a hat!
I loved that it is from a UK perspective as so many of such books are from the USA where the process of law is quite different to what we know in the UK.
I felt that occasionally there was some repetition on the examples but nothing too tedious and the author has a wealth of experience of her subject covering many years so the style of writing is clear and not prone to rambling too much.
Exceptionally well narrated, the tone perfectly matched the subject and the writing style.

Excellent
Excellent information and extremely interesting. The book goes from earlier crimes to more modern technology and crimes. It also shows that some times that the original evidence was poor and that more and better technology today can result in freedom for life prisoners.

Excellent Book for those interested in true crime and forensic science.
Excellent Book for those interested in true crime and forensic science. The science is nicely explained for those without a scientific background.

Great book but if you've listened to the first one then there are many similarities.

Interesting
While I enjoyed it overall, I felt like there was quite some overlap with her first book. I do hope she'll continue to write though, especially about the more nitty gritty details of forensics and why some evidence is more reliable than others.
