This books was FABULOUS! I was hooked from the first page.
There are a few things that I would draw those who are interested in reading this book to:
1. If you have a weak stomach, rethink reading this. There are details in there that can make you queasy. I also do not recommend eating before reading for the above reasons.
2. There is a lot of terminology that many might not be acquainted with.
Those were my cons - the rest is pure praise. I could not get enough of this book, and I really wanted more when it was finished. I found myself wanting more - more information, more investigation (I can never get enough of this) - looking for and finding the cause of death.... and she pulls all her information together with ease and fact.
GET IT NOW!
I'm not a big fan of forensic pathology and unlike the author I'd rather experiment on rats in a lab than dissect bodies in various stages of putrefaction. All this considered, I enjoyed her tone and her attitude towards death, despite her encounters with some of the worst forms of it. I found the book pretty informative and east to read. 4.5* rounded to 5* for the Scottishness
Utterly fascinating!! A very niche subject so will not be for everyone but I was engrossed by it.
My only niggle is that, although the audiobook narrator was very good, I didn't understand why there was an American narrator for a book written by a Scottish author. Why not use a British narrator?
