This was a very dry read. It's much closer to being an introduction to the science of forensic palynology (the study of pollen) than it is about the solving of a crime. It is mostly filled with eye-glazing technical details, and only picks up the pace moderately in the last third, when the evidence is brought to committal. It's not your typical true crime; you need to be interested in reading about the science to enjoy this book. I did not enjoy it much at all.
