Murder on the Home Front: A True Story of Morgues, Murderers, and Mysteries during the London Blitz | 
pickMolly Lefebure was a writer and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. This fascinating memoir (first published in 1954) of her time working as secretary to the acclaimed forensic pathologist Dr Keith Simpson between 1941 and 1945 gives you a real feel for crime detection during this time and also of what life in the Blitz was like although it is a book of its time so some of the off-hand comments about race, disability and gender drew a wince
pickDelightful. The book was fact. The DVD of the TV series was fiction based on facts. Amazing woman — Molly. Glad I read this book. Enjoyed the DVD too. @MrsMalaprop
Hot day here yesterday so watched the DVD. Seems we also had the book in the house. I‘d never heard of Molly. A very interesting life. The man she worked for wrote a book which my partner had to read when she was doing her medical training. After watching the DVD looking forward to reading the book first published in 1954. Molly died in 2012. She was 93.

so-so#Marchintoreading #nonfiction The memoir of a coroner's secretary during the London blitz. The description sounded great, and I really enjoyed the beginning, but the 1950s prejudices and gender roles wore on me by the end.
