Silent Witness is a television show. If you didn't already know this, don't worry you won't miss that fact as it is mentioned over and over again in this book. This was my free book pick and otherwise it wasn't bad. I am a forensic scientist and I very much enjoyed the information on the history (it's focused on DNA breakthroughs and applications). I also appreciate that they included cases that were never solved - that's real life! Towards the end though it sort of turned into an exhausting litany of violence against women. If, like me, you just want to continue pretending that you can live your life without having to look over your shoulder all the time, it might be best to skip this book. The narrator was generally good but his American accent is ATROCIOUS (think Brooklyn-cowboy). It was laughable until I got to the chapter about forensics in the US, then I wanted to crawl under a table. In summary; a book I enjoyed enough to finish, but wouldn't be something I'd recommend spending money on.
