Book 999 csid With that said I would love to say thinks to NetGalley for giving me a chance at reading what turned out to be a really great book 340 Fans of Silent Witness will love this I did feel it dragged a little in the past parts like when the author had started as a SOCO and the science of forensics and CSI wasn t really what it is now back then Still it is an engaging and pulse pounding read into this world which very rarely gets coverage and attention yet is one of the most vital for crime solving and apprehending criminals 340 We dive first hand into the world of Larry a Scene of Crime Officer SOCO with the Met police force in London joining him from the very beginning of his training course following him to the end of his career as a SOCO We explore a multitude of locations around London as Larry transfer between different stations working with a range of people The book is engaging from the very first page with short chapters that are easy to read allowing you to dip in and out whenever you should wish to but making you want to come back for or read just one it s never just one you get so lost in the world of crime scenes we see a wide range of exciting unusual and scary cases The tone of the book really appeals to me it allows learning without being strict The development of the industry was touched upon as well as the politics within the policing world such as an odd competition between the SOCO s and the fingerprinting section We are shown how much Larry really cares deeply about what he was doing as well as the teams he was working within We get a sprinkling of Larry s home life but just a tiny sprinkle we see how some of the crimes Larry witnesses affects his protectiveness of his children and family Laughs were found in unexpected places within the book I hope Larry writes another book There seem to be so many other stories that Larry could tell I ll be certainly looking out for another book I picked this up from my local library and wouldn t hesitate to recommend it to any with an interest in true crime 340 This is the sort of book I love the day to day of a SOCO and the trials and tribulations they face as they do their jobs. 999 csipetke It s an enjoyable informative and eye opening read and it s funny too I really loved it Huge thanks to Larry Henderson Kris Hollington Thistle Publishing and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own 340 For those intrigued by the true crime world this is a detailed look at the work of a crime scene officer dating back to the days before DNA became mainstream I enjoyed reading about the logistics of how the authors work was carried out although as I read on I did find much of the book to be rather repetitive There is a lot of discussion about the good old days and how things used to be many many trips to the local pub after shifts and plenty of times the author concludes alas the culprits were never identified Moreover there are several times the author hints at processes that can t be fully divulged in the interests of public safety understandable but frustrating Overall worth a read but I can t say reading this excites me too much 340
The title explains exactly what the book is about A very well written account of the author s experiences as a Scenes of Crime officer in London It makes for good reading and I would recommend this book Thank you Net Galley for my copy 340 Good ReadReally good read Thoroughly enjoyed the stories and finding out some of the processes in real life not CSI mock ups 340 Great book for any want to be soco it tells you how hard the life is but also about the camaraderie of the force 340 Stunning readA look inside a part of the police most people will hopefully never see Crime Scene Investigation Larry Henderson writes brilliantly on a rollercoaster ride of internal politics shootings armed robberies murders var chases and 340 Really good book from a civilian POV of crime scenes etc an example of how far technology as come from the 1970s where each fingerprint had to be compared manually from an album to now where it is all digital good insight into crimes etc Well worth a read 340.:
