Step past the flashing lights into the true scene of the crime with this frank, unflinching, and unforgettable account of life as a crime scene investigator. Whether explaining rigor mortis or the art of fingerprinting a stiff corpse on the side of the road, Dana Kollmann details her true, unvarnished experiences as a CSI for the Baltimore County Police Department.

Unlike the popular crime dramas proliferating on today's television networks, these forensic tales forgo glitz for grit to show what really goes on. Kollmann recounts stories that the cops and the CSIs usually leave in the field, bringing the sights, smells, and sounds of a crime scene alive as never before.

Unveiling the process and science of crime scene investigation in all its fascination, Never Suck a Dead Man's Hand takes you into the strange world behind the yellow tape, offering a truly eye-opening perspective on the day-to-day life of a CSI.

Contains mature themes.

I greatly enjoyed this book as my daughter is studying to enter this field. The real-life descriptions and the author's humor make this an enjoyable listen.

Fantastic and funny

Loved every bit of it, would read again. The stories were a hoot, but the lessons she learned were powerful.

Great Book

I see some reviewers were put off by the author’s sometimes-snarky sense of humor, but, being possessed of a similar style myself, I enjoyed it. She didn’t even spare us her own personal public restroom horror stories. One had me literally laugh out loud.

Though some of the voices were grating (as intended), the narrator did a pretty good job.

Loved it!

The narrator absolutely nails the spirit and inflection of the author's words. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her!

I also absolutely loved that this book tells it like it REALLY is in the CSI world. I've long been fascinated by TV shows from NCIS to Forensic Files, but none of them portray anything close to reality. This book is all reality, and it's very refreshing, in that sense.

The author also seems to have her head on straight in terms of the fact that racism is bad; but that's where her tolerance for social justice seems to end. The number of times mentally handicapped people, mentally ill people, and people with substance abuse issues are ridiculed and called derogatory names in this book is disturbing.

I get that it's difficult to maintain sympathy and empathy when one deals with difficult situations all night every night. But one would hope for a more reflective stance when writing from a retrospective position.

I don't imagine the author will ever read this review, but I did want to leave it in the hopes that it can help anyone with triggers surrounding mental health make an educated decision about whether or not to listen.

The narrator nails it! The author, though...

I love the book and also the narrator. The only thing I didn't like was the voices the narrator did... awful!

Overall great

this book was very interesting and informative. the author had a great perspective on the pros and cons of the job, I felt like I was there with them while they described the scenes they worked on. some of the descriptions are gross, as one would expect, so take note of that when you're eating while listening. (If you're bothered by that type of thing)

great book

This might have been quality if it didnt seem like the author was trying to impress 12 year old boys with her focus on toilet humor. Im truly offended that someone who earned a doctorate in anthropology wrote a book during which she referred to mentally deranged or "low class" people as "it" and "thing.". The insights into her experience could have been told better, but I guess it would have been had to be written by someone with a sense of humanity.
The material about what the job entailed was interesting. It might be useful as a read for someone thinking about pursuing it, But if there are other books about it, read them first. The reader made the voices so whiny or otherwise annoying that I almost turned it off. In fact, Im not really sure why I didnt.

Crude unnecessary details with subpar voice

It was super fun to hear all the gross anecdotes. Although I found the derogatory views toward the poor, ugly, mentally ill a little tasteless.

Great descriptive language.
