First of all, if you are interested in Crime Scene Investigation, you should definitely add this book to your shelf!!! Because, this book perfectly mentions the real face of crime in a way which is totally different than the way in CSI shows. I’m absolutely sure that it is FANTASTIC! I’m sure that when the readers finish reading The Forensic Mission they will not easily like the other books. They’ll see that nothing about CSI is easy as in the shows that we watch on TV.



This book is good at confusing the readers’ thoughts and also shocking them by the use of different kind of events having unpredictable connections between each other.



On the other hand, The Forensic Mission improves the readers’ interpreting and thinking ability. This is another important property of that interesting novel. The book has two parts. At the beginning of the chapters, some scientific information about CSI is given, which are definitely different than you expect, like decomposing dudes, morphing maggots, bloodstain evidence, evidence collecting methods, autopsy, gunshot wounds etc. and then the story is told. By this point the reader has the chance of interpreting the story according to real information about CSI.



In addition to this, the author entertains, shocks and frightens the audience and gives messages about the tragic results of doing illegal works by telling the story of two teenager boys who are really successful and innocent. However, joining illegal works for some money causes their tragic end.



As a result, if you read this book you will definitely think that you improved yourself. You’ll see the difference between CSI shows and real life with real victims and real investigators. Your point of view about life will change and you will see that, every human being can do everything which you can not even think about!!!!!!
