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.

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.
