Corrupt Bodies: Death and Dirty Dealing in a London Morgue by Peter Everett

adventurous dark informative reflective tense medium-paced

I had this book on my to read list for so long & thus I was a little disappointed when I firstopened the book and felt it was so slow and boring. But it picked up and I found myself very interested in Peters life as a mortuary superintendent. I especially liked that he noted (or hinted) that debriefing is something that should be taught in the world of pathologists & other mortuary workers. Seeing dead bodies is never gonna be easy- especially not seeing over 11,000 bodies and at least 400 of them being murders of people of all age groups. (Eventually leading him to a mental breakdown so bad he ends up in a psychiatric ward).
