An unusual format for a memoir. A set of short stories of different cases that the author has overseen or participated in, rather than a sequential timeline of her life.

The stories are fairly mild compared to many forensic stories one sees on tv and movies these days. And the author does a very good job of providing both the proper, technical term along with a short description or more common term for a bone or a procedure.

In the soft copy there are many pictures of coffins types, difference in bones, and reconstruction of a face in clay and bone.
