Tremors in the Blood

The use of the lie detector, or polygraph, has long been debated on the legitimacy of its findings. While there are many circumstances where one might be useful, there are very founded reasons as to why the results are not allowed to be admitted into a court of law.

The author takes the reader on a journey, keeping one enthralled until the last word. The invention of the lie detector, and the many different cases that it was used on during its inception was fascinating. There are many different cases presented, and the issues that those running the tests were finding.

I absolutely LOVED this read! It was fascinating. I have a better understanding of why the polygraph is not admitted into a court of law, but truly enjoyed the different cases that it was used on and the men that were responsible for the creation of the lie detector. It was interesting to hear how many began a career in which they had not initially thought about going into the police force, but their changes and many of the overhauls that they put into place are still used today.
