An excellent book! It was very quick and easy to understand. Not to mention there's a good sense of humor to it. Overall, a very good book about death and forensics.

I really enjoyed this book, which provided a good balance between interesting case studies and the philosophical musings of the author.  Although I don't agree with all of her thoughts and opinions, I feel she did a good job explaining and exploring them, using her life experiences as a springboard.  I especially appreciated the respect with which every topic was approached.  That said, although I did learn some interesting tidbits about her field of work, and found the book interesting and entertaining, it did not contain any big "wow" or "a-ha!" moments that would be necessary for me to rate it higher.  Still very much recommended for those interested in the subject, though.  Note that some of the cases explored in the book, especially related to children and war, are quite disturbing.
