"Overall, this handbook can be recommended to all analysts working
in the field of forensic sciences, particularly since the price is
acceptable." (J Am Soc Mass Spectrom, 2011)

"Forensic Analysis on the Cutting Edge is an engaging book and
accessible to al bachelors-levels scientists and above. I
would recommend it to those practicing in the field, to analytical
scientists possibly to science-oriented mystery writers who want to
write sensibly about one of the unusual pieces of trace evidence
covered by Blackledge and his contributors. The book
certainly deserves a place on the reference shelf in university
libraries." (Applied Spectroscopy, April 2008)

"This book will be most useful to practicing forensic scientists
(criminalists) engaged in trace-evidence analysis and to university
students." (International Journal of Environmental and
Analytical Chemistry, 2008)
