Cracking More Cases: The Forensic Science of Solving Crimes : the Michael Skakel-Martha Moxley Case, the Jonbenet Ramsey Case and Many More!

Rating:
Summary: Authoritative and Informative
Review: Dr. Lee earns his praise in this genuine examination of these pertinent and riveting cases. I am an avid reader of forensic non-fiction and I was sincerely impressed with Dr. Lee's unrelenting attention to detail. He explores the Skakel and Ramsey cases with a nuanced and candid eye, offering insights that I can only attribute to such a seasoned forensic professional as Dr. Lee. Each chapter offers a meticulous analysis of the cases' facts and distinctive datum. I am a sincere admirer of Dr. Lee's distinguished works, and this book is no exception.

Summary: interesting but not factual
Review: I don't know all the other cases Lee has worked on but I know Ramsey - and Lee dedicated a third of his book to that case.

He made so many errors I was not just angry but disgusted.

For someone who spent time in the house, he knew nothing. (The windowless room is NOT accessed by walking through the boiler room. The train room has no window in it.)

For someone who worked on the case he has far too many facts wrong - - with some of the deposition transcripts available and the interview tapes public we KNOW Lee has a lot wrong.

I had hoped for an honest assessment of the case but what is in the book is - simply put - WRONG.

Personally, I think Lee should be ashamed to have his name on that book. But it is there, and I hope people who read it do some research on their own. They will quickly learn not to put that book with the "True Crime" collection.
