It's a very human book that looks at the cases he has been involved with, from the Hungerford massacre to the murder of Stephen Lawrence An unputdownable record of an extraordinary life One of the most fascinating books I have read in a long time. Engrossing, a haunting page-turner. A book I could not put down Fabulous . . . The UK's top pathologist investigating high-profile deaths such as that of Diana, Princess of Wales Puts the reader at his elbow as he wields the scalpel Insightful, candid and compassionate Fascinating, gruesome yet engrossing Heart-wrenchingly honest Darkly fascinating A deeply mesmerising memoir of forensic pathology. Human and fascinating Partly an autobiography, but also a love letter to pathology. It's dignified and graceful and painfully honest about the human and emotional cost of so much time with the dead. Insightful, moving and mesmerising This book holds within its pages the story of a life told with honesty, and this is partly why it is such a pleasure to read. A fascinating autobiography.
