"I found this to be an excellent book—well written, engaging, informative. Trials gives the reader a sense of how forensic psychology fits in context in legal proceedings. Ewing creates engaging, engrossing stories to convey the course of a forensic psychology case, and these narratives, I suspect, will stay with the reader far longer than the dry, technical materials on the subject one usually reads. I can think of no better book to recommend to neophyte forensic psychologists, to give them a concrete sense of how their evaluation and testimony skills will actually be applied in the future. But even the experienced forensic practitioner will enjoy the book, although for a different reason—to recognize a fellow practitioner of one’s craft practicing at a high level."

"Cases in forensic psychology can be fascinating. When a highly skilled and experienced forensic psychologist like Charles Patrick Ewing describes real cases in plain English, the result is that rare combination of educational and enjoyable--equally suitable for the classroom in snowy January or the beach in June. Jonathan Kellerman, move over. Don't miss this one."
—Kirk Heilbrun, Ph.D., Professor and Head of Department of Psychology, Drexel University
