Fascinating read!

Ruthiella A nice companion for the police procedurals one reads! 😃 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures I almost majored in this in college (I did sex and gender studies psychology instead). My advisor was a forensic psychologist who spent years dealing with people on death row. It was fascinating to hear his stories, especially since he was blind from birth! 4d

The Feather Detective: Mystery, Mayhem, and the Magnificent Life of Roxie Laybourne | Chris Sweeney

pick

This outstanding book chronicles the life and work of Roxie Laybourne, a woman who was just trying to do work she loved. She had a knack for taxidermy and was hired by the Smithsonian (unpaid for a while, of course) and found she was especially good at birds. This segued into her pioneering a way to ID bird species from airplane bird strikes. I can‘t emphasize how good this book is—amazing woman with fantastic writing.

MallenNC I just got this book. Roxie Laybourne is an alumna of the college where I work, so the author let us know it was coming out. I‘m glad more people will be aware of her through this book. 4mo

Hooked_on_books @MallenNC What a cool connection! I love seeing people who have really made a mark being elevated, especially women and people of color who were often treated so badly. And the author is a white guy! Which is very cool, as he clearly has a deep respect for Roxie. 4mo

MallenNC @Hooked_on_books Yes, I connected with him to do a story on the book, and it was clear he was a big fan of Roxie. Here‘s the story I did: https://www.meredith.edu/news/new-book-focuses-on-trailblazing-meredith-alumna/ 4mo

Hooked_on_books @MallenNC Great article! And bravo to your archivist for going above and beyond to help him get the book to happen! 4mo

I found this to be a solid cozy mystery that gave very strong Bones (the tv show vibes)… it had a good mystery and kept me guessing the whole time! An enjoyable read!

Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless | Laurah Norton

pick

The author is a podcaster, and she narrates the audio pretty well. This was a bookclub pick. It blends true crime with forensic science, mostly following one Jane Doe case in Indiana but with stories from other cases the author has looked into. It‘s good that private citizens have access to look into the cold cases that authorities don‘t have time or money to continue with. Quite a few Does have been identified in this way.

Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks this was my July #doublespin 🙂📚 4mo

BekaReid fabulous cover! 4mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 4mo

The Feather Detective: Mystery, Mayhem, and the Magnificent Life of Roxie Laybourne | Chris Sweeney

Excited to read these new nonfiction books. The Feather Detective is about an alumna of Meredith College (where I work) and her pioneering work as a forensic expert on feathers. The other is narrative nonfiction that was featured this week on The Stacks podcast and it sounded right up my alley.

I‘m hanging out in New York, New York this week. I‘m enjoying diving into the science behind many of the forensic techniques we accept as standard practice today.

Thanks for the tag @KadaGul
