The Bone Lady: Life as a Forensic Anthropologist by Mary H. Manheim

This is a very dry and unentertaining collection of cases. While it may be of interest to students of forensic anthropology, it does little to create interest or excitement for a lay person in search of a good story or mystery. Most chapters read like a field report and are laden down with scientific fact. If your are interested in the world of “Bones” as well as some entertainment value, I would recommend reading Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach instead.
