Brilliant!

The pathology-centric version of [a:Adam Kay|17160706|Adam Kay|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1594843517p2/17160706.jpg]'s [b:This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor|36349276|This is Going to Hurt Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor|Adam Kay|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1507070161l/36349276._SY75_.jpg|56583337], Peter Everett documents the ups and (many) downs of his career as superintendent of Southwark Mortuary. Written with plenty of dark humour to lighten up the heaviness of the subject matter, it is an easy and fascinating read. It also provides a unique perspective on the socioeconomical failings of councils and governments over the last few decades, and the consequences stemming from this that we are yet to recover from.
