Skeletons In The Closet

Overview

A mother calls 999 because her child, despite a foetal monitor, stopped breathing. She didn't know it, but the foetal monitor her doctor prescribed had a memory chip. Would the monitor's memory chip preserve evidence of a tragic accident or a murder? A young couple's marriage is crumbling, but they decide to take one last family trip. She will never return home. A pool of blood suggests she died from injuries caused by an accidental fall from a boat dock. So how did she wind up face down in the lake? For more than two decades, Dr. Stephen D Cohle has been solving vexing forensic mysteries as the medical examiner for Kent County, Michigan. As a whole, the cases he considers represent a cross-section of crime in mid-America, often committed by a macabre cast of characters: 'Jekyll and Hyde' alcoholics who turned homicidal; killers who resorted to the most bizarre methods in concealing their crimes; and the rarest species in the zoo of criminology, a two-woman team of serial killers. Based on his work with Dr Cohle, true-crime writer Tobin T Buhk recounts twenty-one riveting, real-life stories, each with a unique forensic twist. Offering a glimpse into strange sights, sounds, and smells of the county morgue, these tales of intrigue, deception, and murder will fascinate true-crime buffs, fans of CSI, and readers of mystery and detective stories.

A good read for the C.S.I. and true-crime buff. High school and adult readers who are interested in forensic studies will be intrigued with these brutal cases. Overall, a good addition to the library on a topic that is very popular --SWON (SouthWest Ohio and Neighboring) Libraries ROYAL Reviews, Jan. 12, 2009
