Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller No less than a top-notch course in forensics — the science of murder — all "class" examples drawn from the stories, novels, characters, and innovations of Agatha Christie, a writer who knew what she was about when it came to poisons, fingerprints, weapons, handwriting, and autopsies (even if she did take occasional literary liberties). That Carla Valentine, a mortuary technician with an equal passion for murder mysteries and true crime forensics, both adores and takes inspiration from Christie's work is brilliantly evident on every page. So much fun ... and no spoilers! Discover the science of forensics through Agatha Christie's novels Agatha Christie is the bestselling novelist of all time, and nearly every story she ever wrote involves one—or, more commonly, several—dead bodies. And the cause of death, the motives behind violent crimes, the clues that inevitably are left behind, and the people who put the pieces together to solve the mystery invite the reader to analyze the evidence and race to find the answer before the detective does. Nearly every step of the way, Christie outlines the nuts and bolts of early 20th-century crime detection, relying on physical evidence to tell the real story behind the facades humans erect to escape detection. Christie wouldn't have talked of "forensics" as it is understood today—most of her work predates the modern developments of forensics science—but in each tale she harnesses the power of human observation, ingenuity, and scientific developments of the era. A fascinating, science-based deep dive, The Science of Murder examines the use of fingerprints, firearms, handwriting, blood spatter analysis, toxicology, and more in Christie's beloved works.
