    Designed for mystery writers, this book provides writers [and interested readers] with medical and forensic information. For mystery writers, it is an invaluable reference book.In Part One, Doctors, Hospitals, Illnesses, and Injuries, the topics are broken up into broad categories that include Traumatic Injuries and Their Treatment; Environmental Injuries and Their Treatment; Doctors, Hospitals, and Paramedical; Medications and Drugs; and Diseases and Their Treatments.In Part Two, Methods of Murder and Mayhem, the topics are broken up into broad categories that include The Effects of Guns, Knives, Explosives, and Other Weapons of Death; Poisons and Drugs; and Medical Murder.In Part Three, Tracking the Perp, the topics are broken up into broad categories that include The Police and the Crime Scene; The Coroner, the Crime Lab, and the Autopsy; and Odds and Ends, Mostly Odds.Illustrations are also included.The questions and corresponding answers are clear and concise; some have short responses while others are more complex. But the amount of information here is impressive; both readers and writers interested in the construction of mystery stories will find much to appreciate here.Highly recommended.

    Okay, this book is a MUST HAVE for murder/mystery writers everywhere!!! Serious, it has EVERYTHING!! I have honestly lost count of the number of times I've checked this out of the library. ..... I should probably just get my own copy. This book covers everything from point-blank gunshot wounds to pregnancy complications, poison to bee stings, autopsys to healing, and everything in between. The author gives detailed explanations of the hows and whys, and never seems to shy away or dodge the harder questions. This is seriously THE authoritive book for medical questions for writers, and I also recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this kind of stuff even as a non-writer.
