dark funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

I absolutely loved this book, despite the ‘big book fear’ i absolutely loved this one. i perhaps have an unhealthy interest in true crime but this left me satisfied that i’d understood the complexities of the cases from a pathological perspective. Admittedly a little graphic at times but i fear without this the enormity of Dr Shepard’s work and career would be lost on the reader. thoroughly interesting and enjoyable.

Read this book if you're looking for an insider's account of the stressful life of a forensic pathologist, a description of the daily highs and lows and the extraordinary ups and downs. It's THE book to read if you're a true crime fan.
