Written In Bone by Dame Sue Black
Limb by limb, case by case some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre Dame Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind.A fascinating if grisly book. It should be read. -- Stuart Kelly * Scotland on Sunday *
For someone who deals in death every day, Sue Black has a rare ability to make blood and bones come alive. A marvellous writer. * Ruth Davidson SMP *
A fascinating overview of the human skeleton from the forensic anthropologist's point of view, with case studies that are both pertinent and entertaining. * Kathy Reichs, author of the Temperance Brennan, Bones series *
Gripping from the start, Written in Bone is superb - fascinating in its detail of real life cases and written with a narrative that propels you forward to the next page. * Dr Richard Shepherd, author of Unnatural Causes *
