I really like these 24/7 books about different jobs and cases, and I have several in my classroom library. This one was truly interesting, since I don't think of art as a means to solving crimes. However, every one of the forensic artists mentioned in this book used both their artwork and their knowledge and the human form and biology to help solve a crime. It was really very interesting, and the text was extremely approachable.

Very interesting information and lots of details. Good for older kids as there are some slightly disturbing facts. Another fine read in the series.
