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.

Incredibly fascinating read about the different stages of life, told through the lens of death. Dr Shepherd wonderfully balanced the medical facts with a sense of compassion, and kept me intrigued and educated through-out.
