Forensic scientists can unlock the mysteries of the past and help serve justice using the messages left by a corpse, a crime scene, or the faintest of human traces.

These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

Charles Darwin's theory of organic evolution-the idea that life on earth is the product of purely natural causes, not the hand of God-set off shock waves that continue to reverberate through Western society, and especially the United States. What makes evolution such a profoundly provocative concept, so convincing to most scientists, yet so socially and politically divisive? These 12 eye-opening lectures are an examination of the varied elements that so often make this science the object of strong sentiments and heated debate.

Publisher's Summary
From ballistics and blood splatter patterns to DNA analysis and voice printing, RJ Parker explores the highly complex world of investigative forensic sciences. Intended as an introductory guide and reference to forensic techniques for frontline police officers, criminal attorneys, journalists, crime authors, and just interested listeners, this encyclopedic audiobook is a must-listen for any true-crime aficionado.

Poor narrating
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Interesting topic and information.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A
What didn’t you like about Don Kline’s performance?
Very "choppy" in his sentence delivery. Sounds as though he is reading line by line, instead of sentence by sentence.
Was Forensic Analysis and DNA in Criminal Investigations: Including Cold Cases Solved worth the listening time?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Enjoyed the book, however, I think I enjoy books that delve into the scientific aspect more. This was very superficial scientifically.

BITE MARK EVIDENCE: AGAINST NAS AND PCAST REPORTS
The presence of DNA in the title is misleading. It is there in order to sell books. Deleting "DNA"from the title would make a truer title.
The discussion of bite-mark evidence, although the author credits that evidence with solving cases, is at odds with the NAS Report and PCAST and, for the casual reader, that is problematic!

Gets Better at the End
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
If you want to know about history and the forensic analysis I would say that I would recommend this book to a friend.
Would you recommend Forensic Analysis and DNA in Criminal Investigations: Including Cold Cases Solved to your friends? Why or why not?
It has some interest in some of the cases that they cover early on in the book. The last hour or 90 minutes references popular cases and the importance of forensic analysis in those cases. I found that 90 minute segment worthwhile and prevented me from returning the book.
Could you see Forensic Analysis and DNA in Criminal Investigations: Including Cold Cases Solved being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
NO

Awful Narratator
This narrator has to go down in history as the most boring person I've ever heard - not only in my 6 years of daily listening to Audiobooks but in my entire life. He reads four words or maybe a sentence at a time as if reading the football results. No emphasis, inflection,or character whatsoever. Monotonous is his middle name. Shame as it's an interesting subject.
Refund please.
