Corpse: Nature, Forensics, and the Struggle to Pinpoint Time of Death
Author: Jessica Snyder Sachs
Publisher: Perseus Publishing
Publication Date: 2002
ISBN: 0738207713

It explores the determination of time of death with use of forensic evidence from the body to maggots. I have to admit that the book is somewhat dry at first, but the book was written for novice forensic investigators that are learning through science how they can solve the problems of the past. It's the dark side of death with a touch of a dark lyrical style.. Jessica Snyder Sachs reveals how crime fighters are learning to read the clues of the post mortem body. Studying natural - and sometimes unnatural - signs to determine everything from time of death to method of death to the identity of the victim. She even has real time cases that were worked on and the history of the forensics science. She delves into the how and why anthropology, physiology, physics, entomology, and botany all come together to create forensic sciences. It's a great book if you can get past the first dry chapter.
