Very interesting. But pretty gruesome in the descriptions so if you are sensitive to blood and trauma, this is not the book for you.
Learned some about anatomy, and that in real life, the work of the medical examiner takes a long time.
She had the misfortune of working in New York City through the 9/11 and a plane crash within the same month.
It's written as a sequence of anecdotes, there isn't a flow to the stories.
It's more like a collection of related short stories rather than a novel.
It's non-fiction of course, I made the comparison to give a sense of what reading it is like.
But with the subject matter, that works pretty well.
