I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records. This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. A silent witness type thriller. Based on Cassandra Raven a mortuary assistant/technician. Her teaching friend dies and the pathologists initial report says its an accident, but Cassie believes differently. Its well plotted and the relationships of the investigative team are well written. Interesting and unusual concept. Lovely

I loved Cassie! She was very well written with a detailed backstory. Her being a quirky character really pulled me in - I mean, she talks to the dead!
Being set in a mortuary for the most part was an interesting way of writing a crime novel - it’s not something you’d usually get.
I really liked the dynamic between Cassie and Flyte, when they eventually started seeing eye-to-eye! They’re an unlikely paring which made me think it was set up for them to eventually get together by the end of the book!
I didn’t find it to be a nail-biting thriller but it was fascinating enough for me to want to read it.
I’m actually looking forward to reading the next book, just to see what Cassie gets up to next!
