Unnatural Death: Confessions of a Medical Examiner by Michael Baden, Judith Adler Hennessee

3.0

I liked this book, but it could have used some transitions or editing to help the flow between cases. The cases covered were grouped in a related chapter, but you would finish one case and immediately talk about another with little transition.

I'm not sure if there are many 'confessions' in this book, other than pointing out that politics play a role in autopsies more than we would care to admit.

It's also aging, as it was originally written in 1989 and things have progressed so much. I liked it, though I thought it could be tedious at times.
