Scientific yet room for human emotion

The author covers all kinds of deaths - natural, accidental and criminal. He explains the findings and how he reaches those conclusions in way that someone with little knowledge of human anatomy and physiology can understand. Each case is interesting on its own. yet they are artfully woven together. Recommend.

Tastefully Written.

The author approached a difficult subject with candor, sometimes laugh-out-loud dark humor and heartfelt compassion.
I recommend this title wholeheartedly.

Amazing stories!

I loved the stories and how the author made it so touching. The patients of course died, but he wrote it with such respect and dignity.

Great Book!!!!!

Great book! I, also have a morbid curiosity and death and murder and is the best book I've read in a long time!! . Kept my interest the entire book. Great narrator as well. Have already purchased "The Quick and the Dead." Can't wait to listen to it!!

Fascinating

Hard to resist Dr Temple Camp’s blend of stories and science. He’s respectful as well as unsparing of details. Great narration too.

Love it!

I personally love true crime, and have always wanted to hear the pathologists side of things. This book does that! And it's not a constant droning on. The author is actually telling you a story. I love the pace as well. Gets right to the story without skipping anything or over explaining. Would recommend!

highly recommended

this is one of the best books I've listened 2 in quite a while has some graphic content eg slicing up body parts.We actually knew someone who had been a friend of lundy and he said lundy was a wacko even before he murdered his wife and daughter .

Stories from such an interesting topic

I was not sure whst to ecpect but these stories are so filled with emotion and are so interesting to me. I have ordered his next two books i hope i enjoy them as much as this. Learning about different counttries teaches us that really we are all the same when it comes to desth.

I enjoy thoughtful well told non-fiction

Forensic pathology is very interesting to me. I also enjoy hearing the stories of train, work and experiences from non-US countries. The only ding is the extra effort to try to read snd sound german for the author. Just sounded like a Hogan's Heroes dialect at times. Unnecessary IMO

Excellent

Well written, interesting and beautifullly narrated. I've read several of these types of forensic books and this one was my favorite.
