In this short book, forensic expert Thomas Moriello talks about a very important stage of crime investigation - the inspection of the crime scene. For clarity, the stories he tells are illustrated with photographs of dioramas—miniature replicas of crime scenes—that depict scenes of action in detail. The Dollhouse Murders is something of a visual aid for readers interested in detective stories. Six short stories, illustrated by photographer John Consoli, show what and how an investigator does when he gets to a crime scene, modern technologies for inspecting a crime scene and conducting operational actions. The book is intended for a wide readership, but will be especially interesting to detective fans.
