1. They just don't tell enough of the story for me. The Bullet in the Tree: Who was the forensic anthropologist who examined the skull? And who was the random chick who told them about the bullet in the tree? And the laser beam story. No names were given. Why did the boyfriend shoot that dude? What did him and the girl argue about?
2. This book series all together would only take about 30 minutes to read, however, I want to look every case up on the Internet to learn more. And then I find other books that I could read so I have to look them up on my library website to see if they have them. Sooo it's takes a lot longer to read.
3. I know the whole point of the book is to introduce types of forensics to kids but I just want more of the story than that.
4. On the bright side, I'm researching the stories so I'm learning new things.
