I read this as a part of my on-going quest to read all of my school's reading program library. It was a good, very quick read. The cases they study are really interesting and the use of insects to solve cases is totally one of my favorite things to talk about. Good for what it is. :-)

this book is pretty cool; who would have thought that a little bug could be the key answer to a top crime investigation?

Short, informative, interesting read. Part of the 24/7 Science behind the Scenes series. Case files: bugs, flies, and insects.
