This book makes me wonder about all the medical examiners that have had to deal with determining covid related deaths and how much they've had to endure during the pandemic. Overall, it was a bit gruesome but I was fascinated. If you like crime/medical dramas you'd probably enjoy this book.
Also, I'm a total nerd so when they used an SEM to look at the ends of a suture to determine if it was tied off properly I was stoked since I've used them to look at tiny shit. It's fucking cool!
