This was such an informative and interesting look at the history of polygraphs and lie detectors. It was so fascinating to hear the origins of the technology and the science it was based on. The book also focuses on a number of cases which highlighted the emerging issues with the technology which could and did lead to miscarriages of justice.

i really enjoyed this it was a really interesting historical account of the invention and use of the lie detector. The author makes the story interesting and it reads like a novel. The author has clearly done his research and has taken time to think about the market he is writing for. The book covers the politics and characters surrounding the lie detector rather than talking about the famous people that it has been used on and how it works and the transcript. I would really recommend this for anyone who likes history and true crime.

A thrilling and a gripping book, it included lot of crime cases and instances that would totally grip you and keep you hooked to the book. Drawing on these instances, the book focuses on polygraph that was introduced into the crime detection scene and how it's effect rippled across everything.
An amazing book!

A fascinating read that dives into the history of the lie detector test and the problems is faced.

A great read for anyone interested in true crime or law.

Very informative and included newspaper clippings and photographs.

I enjoyed reading tremors in the blood, by Amit Katwala. It is well written and well laid out. Very easy to follow and gripping

Touching on psychology, technology and the science of the truth, Tremors in the Blood is a vibrant, atmospheric thriller, and a warning from history: be careful what you believe. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was an excellent page turner that I couldn’t put down
