“Fans of the forensics-oriented novels of such mystery writers as Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell...not to mention television series like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, will make an eager audience for this one.”—BooklistOn a patch of land in the Tennessee hills, human corpses decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria, and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. This is Bill Bass’s “Body Farm,” where nature takes its course as bodies buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, or locked in car trunks serve the needs of science and the cause of justice. In Death’s Acre, Bass invites readers on an unprecedented journey behind the gates of the Body Farm where he revolutionized forensic anthropology. A master scientist and an engaging storyteller, Bass reveals his most intriguing cases for the first time. He revisits the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, explores the mystery of a headless corpse whose identity astonished police, divulges how the telltale traces of an insect sent a murderous grandfather to death row—and much more.INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS

Dr. William Bass sheds light on the world of forensic anthropology in his book Death’s Acre. He highlights his and the profession’s humble beginnings, incredible growth, and great future potential in his writings. From the foreword, it is clear that Bass is highly respected in his field and a passionate academic. He details how his career led to the creation of the body farm and how forensic anthropology took off from this research lab. Though this book is foremost a memoir of Bass’s extraordinary career, it shows the importance of physical anthropology. Bass showcases the great amount of information we are capable of learning from so little -- how the dead can tell a life story through a pile of bone fragments. He speaks to those that have interest in this field, but may have little knowledge about it. He keeps such dark and haunting cases lighthearted and interesting, creating a different point of view to the typical fear we associate with skeletons. I believe he did a wonderful job in explaining the little known world of forensic anthropology. Bass writes as though he is having a conversation with a friend, immediately creating a sense a familiarity with the reader. This tone, along with his descriptive language allows the reader to truly feel as if they are there at the scene with Bass, sifting through gravel to find bone fragments. At first, it seemed as if he was too flowery, in a sense, with his details of the environment and his surroundings. As the book continues though, I realized he was truly painting the picture of the whole scene and the whole picture needs to be seen by an investigator. He talks of “shooting in and shooting out” of every scene, shooting pictures that is, and his words allow you to see those pictures in your own mind. The detail also allows for those who are not educated in bone anatomy to understand what is happening, opening the audience to a much wider group of people. With each case he speaks to, he drives home the idea of skeletons as storytellers. In the case of James Grizzle, Bass is able to recreate the story of Grizzle’s last moments simply by looking at the state and position of his burned bones. He walks the reader through every step, every clue that speaks to him. With each detail, he allows the reader to piece together the puzzle and narrate the victim’s end. He also highlights the variety of fields that forensic anthropology interconnects with. His graduate student, Arpad, uses biochemical research to estimate time of death. Another student, also named Bill, researched the entomology around cadavers and greatly enhanced the forensic science field with his findings. The dirt, bugs, and bone fragments told more about a victim than anyone would imagine. I highly recommend this book, especially for those with an interest in forensics or anatomy. Background knowledge in these subjects isn’t needed, just an interest. As a physiology major, I am passionate about the study of anatomy and enjoyed seeing a different application of this subject. I often think of the study of the human body in a medical sense, to help a living person, but hadn’t considered how the information could help one that has already passed on. Bass keeps his story entertaining, relatable, and interesting throughout, a great read for someone that loves a murder mystery.
