3.5 stars

Good story, easy to read, moves along like a fiction novel, but I am sure not for everyone. Very few gory parts, but scientific in the format of death.

The story pretty much stays with the employees of the Allegheny Coroners office - so it is easy to begin to know and like these people. We begin to see the work of these employees through the fresh eyes of two young female college student interns, questioning whether they are suited for this type work.

I have read other John Temple books
