books about: forensics     books:       House Rules: A Novel185 reviews Atria, 2010 Moving and realistic This book poignantly depicts a boy with Asperger's Syndrome and masterfully characterizes his struggles with his family and in all areas of life. As an educator, I really appreciate that Picoult has done her research because the characterization is extremely accurate without being stereotypical.This extremely heart-felt read switches point of views, increasing the emotional impact.             Dearly Devoted Dexter: A Novel138 reviews Vintage, 2005 A perfect sequel Dearly Devoted Dexter was an amazingly written book and a very talented and intelligent author.

I highly recommend it!             Eight Days to Live: An Eve Duncan Forensics Thriller18 reviews St. Martin's Press, 2010 a compelling novel that brims with action, intrigue, and a refreshing headstrong heroine Iris Johansen's latest Eve Duncan forensics thriller plays out with Eve's daughter, Jane, as the protagonist.

That afternoon, before the ...             Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers414 reviews Norton, 2004 I liked "Stiff" I thoroughly enjoyed "Stiff". It was recommended by a friend and is a "must read" as far as I am concerned. Humorous, tasteful and well-researched all apply this epic. Just don't try to make this one into a movie.             Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion33 reviews Three Rivers Press, 2008 Must Read! Great Rhetoric Book That Pays For Itself I read probably 100 books a year and this is my favorite pick for 2009. Heinrichs does a great job of walking the reader through the art and science of Rhetoric. Most people have little training on the subject and tactics so the author starts out slow and gradually walks the reader through the subject content using humor and wit as he builds his own ethos while teaching the reader about how ...             206 Bones: A Novel102 reviews Scribner, 2009 Intriguing, Stream of Conscious Mystery The book contains a lot of fragments, but they actually fit with the stream-of-conscious narrating style. It contains a lot of adult language, but it's to be expected given the subject matter. Personally, I felt the ending was WAYYYY forced. It turned into a character monologue about the evils of sloppy forensic science and led into a special author essay which basically repeated the same ...             Body Double100 reviews Ballantine Books, 2004 Body Double The book arrived promptly and in very good condition! I would definately reccomend buying and reading this book.             Dexter by Design: A Novel73 reviews Doubleday, 2009 Gelati's Scoop I hope that everyone is having a good Sunday and enjoying themselves. We are looking forward to another big week here @ The Scoop as we get closer to the July 4th Holiday weekend. The novels we have on tap for this week are a nice mix of fiction with a nice Guest Post thrown in for good measure. Today though, I would like to concentrate on Jeff Linsay's work in the Dexter series of novels. I must ...             Deadly Decisions: A Novel102 reviews Scribner, 2000 BOOK DEADLY DECISIONS I ENJOYED THE BOOK. IT WAS A QUICK READ, HELD YOUR ATTENTION, AND HAD ALL THE EXCITEMENT I LIKE IN READING A BOOK.             Death Du Jour: A Novel177 reviews Scribner, 1999 Honest, Attentive Bookseller The product was actually in better condition than described, arrived before the promised delivery date. I will use this bookseller again.             The Colorado Kid (Hard Case Crime #13)211 reviews Stephen King Dorchester Publishing Co., 2005 The Colorado Kid This charming short story by Stephen King is slowly revealed by two old and seasoned reporters to their young, new partner. No set answers to the crime are provided, but the story-telling is at its finest. Loved it!             Blood Game: An Eve Duncan Forensics Thriller55 reviews St. Martin's Press, 2010 An easy to read engrossing thriller Iris Johansen's books contain supernatural events, such as revelations through dreams, daytime appearances of the dead, and the like, and strong people, especially women. In this thriller, the focus is on Eve Duncan, whose daughter Bonnie disappeared in an earlier book, Eve knows Bonnie is dead because Bonnie visits her from time to time to calm her. It also has an ER physician with the unnatural ...             Dexter in the Dark214 reviews Vintage, 2008 Better than the "polarizing" reviews would lead you to believe... I've found it fascinating to read the various reviews of this book. As for myself, I first saw "Dexter" on TV, like most people have. It was suggested to me by a friend. I initially wasn't interested, but constant pressure led me to "try it out." And I was hooked. I've read the first three Dexter novels, now. And truth be told, this is my favorite one of the book series so far. And ...             Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)319 reviews Jeff Lindsay Vintage, 2009 Guilty pleasure I've watched the first three seasons of Dexter before having read this first book. Mr. Lindsay has an easy wit that I enjoy. I love his send-ups of Miami, its drivers, the Cuban rendering of Spanish, the local food commentary, etc. Although the show follows the book very closely, there are differences between the literary and TV personas of the characters. And I like both. I especially ...             The Big Bad Wolf294 reviews Little, Brown and Company, 2003 Big Bad Wolf Excellent. You will not want to put the book down. It is amazing how James Patterson's characters evolve. You never know how it is going to turn out.             Scarpetta364 reviews Berkley, 2008 RESURRECTION A must read for Scarpetta fans! This is Scarpetta (and Cornwell) at her very best, and it has been a long time coming! I swore the last Scarpetta book I would read would be "Book of the Dead". It was full of bitterness and anger with the occasional bashing of America. I suppose Cornwell has found some happiness in her own life and it shows in Scarpetta. I could image myself walking beside ...             The Scarpetta Factor247 reviews Putnam Adult, 2009 ok book not her best but i love kay scarpetta. can't wait till the movie comes out.             The Profiler: My Life Hunting Serial Killers and Psychopaths53 reviews Hyperion, 2010 Absolutely awesome and so very fascinating... WOW!!! This book grabbed me from the very first page and didn't let me go. I couldn't believe what Pat experienced right in her own home that made her pursue a career in the field of criminal profiling. I started reading this late at night and, with the story right from Chapter 1, never could fall asleep. Oh my...to think all that would be going on in my house and to stay so cool and ...              search for books arguing, aristotle, cadavers, colorado, curious, darkly, deadly, dearly, decisions, design, devoted, dexter, double, dreaming, duncan, factor, forensics, garden, hunting, killers, lincoln, lizard, persuasion, profiler, psychopaths, scarpetta, serial, simpson, thriller, vintage books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
