Intriguing and gritty, Forensics III: They Got Fifteen Minutes of Fame From the Way They Died by Harry A. Milman offers an extensive look into what goes on behind the scenes of a murder investigation. The author not only puts the process into three concisely written categories but explains it in terms that are understandable for those not familiar with medical terminology. I've learned a lot from this book and admire Harry's impartial take on all the cases. It was glaringly obvious that people got off not because they were innocent, but because of their status, with the OJ Simpson case being one of them. It is shocking to learn how many senseless killings take place and how twisted the human mind can be. Callous murderers kill for personal gain or just out of pure jealousy and spite and then the murderers get off due to shoddy police work.
I was impressed with Harry A. Milman's investigative skills and the thought he put into writing this book. One can derive from these attributes that he is a reputable source. Interestingly, Forensics III also exposes how corrupt and biased the justice system can be, with certain cases getting more attention, unfortunately. Catching a killer is hard work and I feel that people should be more appreciative of the work investigators do, being as dedicated as they are. Harry has helpfully placed references in the notes section if readers want to pursue the victims’ stories further. I recommend this book to readers interested in pursuing a career in law or pathology, or even if just a fan of true crime.
