Very informative but also interesting to the lay person. I found he was very reflective and enjoyed reading how he'd maybe change things in his past. The cases were interesting and I loved that it followed cases with people of all different ages.

Nothing wrong with this book, I just didn’t enjoy it as much as “Unnatural Causes”. Partly my fault as I took a while to read this and get into it as I listened to the audiobook.

informative reflective

4.5

The concept of looking at cases throughout the stages of life is brilliant. There's a lot of background detail into the biology/medicine of the causes of death rather than providing mainly post mortem information. Not as good as Unatural Causes, but still very interesting.
