CSI Told You Lies by Meshel Laurie
4.0
medium-paced

An interesting book. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of advocating for the victims and families, especially since a lot of true crime makes me uncomfortable and tends to disregard them, focusing on the perpetrators. I <i>do</i> think that it meandered a little, drifting away from the premise and forensic pathologists and leaning more into the sensational serial killers; but again, I do think there was a lot of compassion there. It also gives a interesting insight into Victoria and Melbourne, a lot of which even as a life long resident, I had no idea about. 

Mishell Laurie's audio narration was excellent and you can really tell she does podcasts, comedy and radio for a living, going just by the quality.
