The Quick and the Dead

De: Cynric Temple-Camp

Narrado por: Mark Davis

True stories of life and death from a New Zealand pathologist

From the number-one bestselling author of The Cause of Death comes a book about the unlikely, extraordinary, obscure and often tragic ways humans meet their end.

A dead body without a trace of trauma; alien parasites; worms of the brain; crocodile attacks and bizarre eating disorders ... In The Quick and the Dead, pathologist Dr Cynric Temple-Camp takes readers into a world of disease and death as he seeks answers for those who were unlucky, and those still alive to tell the tale.

Fascinating

I enjoyed the pace, content, and descriptions. I learned quite a bit! Narrator was easy to listen to

New favorite

Dr Temple-Camp is one of my favorite authors in the medical writing category.
I look forward to more.
The reader was excellent.

Great book but very low volume recording

Very interesting and compassionate stories. Enjoyed as much as it's prequel and hope there are more to come.

More stories of a caring pathologist.

I really enjoy this authors perspective on life. I would love to have a conversation with him. I read his first book and really enjoyed it. This one is a little different but i enjoyed it as well. Well worth listening to.

Fascinating, amusing and heart breaking.

I was a nurse for over 40 years. This gives an excellent overview of health care in their country.
Our country? Not so much.
I would have liked a bit about the Dead, but not departed.
I worked in several areas with these.
I always encouraged them to move on because they were done on this earth and had things to do elsewhere.
