Coming right up after this message from our Sponsors*...

Not really a shameless product placement (yet) - just a heads-up that I recently ordered a copy of Becnel & Krischke's "Principles of Investigative Documentation" and it's shipped.

Looking forward to getting this and will post a review as soon as I can.

But while you are waiting, check out the review from Diligentia. You might note that I posted a comment back in early 2012 but have only purchased the book now. What gives?

Actually, I totally forgot the name of the book and where I'd read the review.

I'm good, not fucking perfect!

* Still looking for those elusive sponsor-types who might want to shower me with gadgets and books for review, in-the-field testing, or otherwise because it's my birthday and/or I'm just awesome. Make that Awesome! With a capital A. And it's not my birthday, but it could be. So if you would like to be equally as Awesome, flick me an email. 

Black as midnight on a moonless night

Pretty black then.

I am referring, of course, to that investigator's staple - coffee. And a reminder that it is "International Buy a PI a Coffee Day 2013" on Saturday 16 March.

As Agent Dale Cooper once said: "I still can't get the taste of fish-filtered coffee out of my mouth."

Word.

Quick Reviews: 'Uncovering Reasonable Doubt" & "Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery"

Hello Dear Reader. Some time ago I purchased two texts by Brandon A. Perron in regards to Criminal Defence Investigations: "Uncovering Reasonable Doubt: the Component Method" and "Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery: the FTER Method".

It kind of makes sense to review them together as the books complement each other in a number of ways.

So what did I think?

Eating Man Sighted!

Dear Reader, I am pleased to announce that at 1402hrs this afternoon, the elusive Eating Man was captured on film outside his natural habitat.

This momentous, and rare, sighting has given researchers more to puzzle over as the Eating Man was seen to converse with cafe staff nearby, enquiring as to what ingredients were in a particular tasty food product.

The Eating Man had previously thought to have been a mute species, unable to communicate effectively.
