Morgue: A Life in Death

Wow!!!! Amazing!!!! Please give us more more more of this!!!!
TONY WARD is fantastic!! Do read!! Don't miss it!!

This book about the life and times of a medical examiner contains all that one would expect from such a manuscript: tales of autopsy, murder, suicide, and courtroom testimony. It also contains some special examination of a few famous suspicious death, murder, and potential suicide cases. All of the material is presented thoughtfully but with an honesty that helps paint a frank picture for the reader of what the author is describing be it a sight, smell, or emotion.

I would have listened to this for the Memphis 3 chapter alone. I'm glad the 'teenagers' have been released but saddened that the killer of the three boys hasn't been found.

The forensic insights into crimes.

I found the insights into the George Zimmerman case very interesting.

author is rather bragging not much humility there. narrator is the worst.should enunciate and not drop ends of words.

at times interesting and informative but mostly takes a case or story and beats it in the ground. I will carry away with me facts I've learned while trying to stay awake and finish.

I made time to finish this book as soon as possible. the knowledge it shares is great.

Expect something a bit different than what you think this book will be about. A lot of back story to each case, sometimes too much, and for the length they probably could've covered more cases.

The narrator was fine but there were a handful of instances where it was extremely obvious that they had forgotten something in the book and decided to go back and splice in certain words or parts that just takes you out of the book. At times it even sounded like a different person.

I was 50/50 on this book. From the summary I was expecting to just hear/learn about what happened in the morgue involving some of his cases throughout the years. Instead I found myself sitting through times where I felt what he was talking about was not relevant to the subject at hand. Too in depth on details that didn't matter and not enough attention to some things that would've been much more interesting given the title of this book.

So interesting. Difficult to put down. With Vincent Di Mali lifetime experience I would love it if he wrote another book. I'm positive that he has many more stories to tell.

Very educational and fascinating!! I always wanted to be a forensic pathologist but couldn't do the intensive science and math so I became a forensic psychologist instead. Love this book!!! Learned a lot about autopsies and misperceptions as well as what it truly means to be an expert witness. Highly recommend this book to anyone into forensics!
