Will be for you if you like forensic pathology tales, but have thought to yourself ‘this could use some more Sopranos’.

The world of pathology is one which has always fascinated me but that I knew little about. This book was an interesting account of the life of Peter Everett, a former mortuary superintendent, throughout his career. There were insights into the day-to-day running of a mortuary and the unique struggles the author faced in his role, as well as details of cases and post-mortems that have stuck in his mind all those years. On a surprising note, the descriptions of the author's mental health before, during and after his breakdown was unexpected but a raw and detailed account that I believe was brave of him to explore. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and was definitely opened up to the effects and dire consequences a stressful work life can have.
