Dr. Thorndyke delves into early forensic science or in the language of his age, medical jurisprudence. He is a mixture of Sherlock Holmes and Gideon Oliver. The books include two novels and two books of short stories. They are all well written and fun to read although I chose 4 stars because they also tend to be repetitive. Thorndyke is always reviewing all the facts of the case meaning we get to read the same information at least twice. I enjoyed the volume though and would recommend it for light easy reading ~ especially if you are at all interested in bodies and bones.
