With much of the action taking place in autopsy rooms, fans of forensics will enjoy this book. I liked this different take on the typical cop detective story. Some more squeamish readers may not like the somewhat graphic descriptions of autopsy procedures. I also did not like that the book was very clearly set up for a sequel and that some of the story was not resolved.
I was given this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for a review.

A solid debut featuring great, flawed characters, some great twists, and a few too many coincidences. Excited for the next in this series featuring a young San Francisco medical examiner (written by a medical examiner and her husband, a writer) 4.5⭐/5

Excited for this first in a series featuring a San Francisco medical examiner, written by Judy Melinek (and her husband). I adored her memoir about being a medical examiner #ATY2020 (a collaboration between two or more people) @barbarabb

For lover's of Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta this is the book for you AND its written by an actual medical examiner, I found this was much more fast paced and read it in one sitting.
