Reviews

"Pointing from the Grave is about detection, literally and figureatively. It is about the dead, and the speech of the dead. About how the breathless can still whisper, and science can amplify their whispering until they are given back the clarity denied them in life…All this forms as fascinating a detective story as you could hope for."
Daily Telegraph (London)
"Weaving together cutting-edge genetics and forensic criminology, courtroom drama and multiple perspectives, Weinberg's book is an ambitious and riveting tale of crime and the science that has been developed to counter it."
Publishers Weekly
"May handles Weinberg's interviews with Frediani, his family, Greenwood's family, and numerous genetic scientists with tact and taste. Her performance makes this carefully researched true-crime drama as fascinating as crime fiction."
