onmalsshelf 's review for:
American Sherlock: Murder, Forensics, and the Birth of American CSI
by Kate Winkler Dawson
Thank you G.P Putnam Sons for a finished copy.
4 stars
American Sherlock was the June pick for my true crime book club, #truecrimetober, which I host in Instagram.
As someone who reads and researches crime a lot, I know that forensics are an important part of a conviction or of an acquittal. Oscar Heinrick’s work shaped forensics through by daring to do what others hadn’t done.
Dawson picked good cases to showcase his career, but I do wish a few more would’ve been added. I also found that some of the book was hard to get through just due to pacing.
