A quick and fun read! Finished in one evening and had a good time. Love the New Orleans setting and the focus on the science of forensic pathology, which is a nice change from the usual crime novel. My only hang up is that we didn’t get to know the characters in a way that truly makes us care. Maybe in the sequel?
