About the author

Rachel Wright grew up in Bermuda, England, the Seychelles, and Fiji. She used to be an actress (after gaining a degree in drama in 1982, she worked as an actress for BBC Radio and various theatre companies, including one she co-founded with a friend) but now she writes full-time. (In 1989 I produced my first children’s non-fiction book and it’s been pretty non-stop since.) Her works include You've Got Blackmail and more than 40 children’s non-fiction books.

Reviews

Funny book, but still has a lot of information.

[Maya Hamid · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is easy to understand and entertaining with illustrations and some witty storytelling.


Once I opened this book, I instantly got hooked. It contains past crimes for study case, and just like the title “Crime-Busting” it gives various ways of solving murder cases. Those are from psychic, chemical, even to living beings like maggot. As someone who doesn’t read crime fiction book or watch series/movies of those genre, this book is an eye-opening.

However, for readers who reads 20 years later after the book released, I am certain that some are not relevant. Especially, in the technological perspectives.

Recently, I spent lots of time to read this book. It's about the methods of polices to find out all the clues of every crime case. Also, there are many famous crime cases on the world that were wrote in the book. You can even answer some interesting question to improve your knowledge about crime-bursting.
I can even try some solutions to find out the mysteries when I've done reading this book. Really interesting to bursting teenagers brain.
