This book by Sue M. Black a forensic anthropologist and human anatomist is packed with details about death and how the dead talk to those who know how to read what they are telling. It describes her youth and the start of her career from working in a butcher shop to college and then to the reality of life and its dark side.

She explains the methods for identifying people, what happened to them be it natural causes or murder, and other reasons for people to die.

This book is a good resource for people who want an inside view of a possible future career as well as people who write about true crime, mysteries, and other similar genres.

It tells about the gruesome nature of people who do despicable things and how they were discovered.

The soup-to-nuts view of a life as a forensic scientist is told in this book.

It is a great resource book for writers, a great for readers who are interested in true crime, mysteries, and learning about human anatomy. and other related things.

I liked all of this book, but especially the details about anatomy and what can happen when misfortune befalls someone. For me, this is valuable knowledge for writing stories related to crime, true crime, mysteries, and other similar genres.

There wasn't anything I didn't like about this book. It was the cruelty of some people that was disturbing That I was aware of but was brought to life in the information. I was able to read it and continue enjoying this book.

I wanted to read more of her books. I also searched for a hardcover copy of this book and bought it because it is full of information I can use when writing.

I felt as if I had found a great treasure chest of valuable information I could use for much of my writing. It was like having the author took me under her wing and taught me about death and related topics.

This book is well organized according to the information presented and it can be a valuable resource when writing a story about death and the who, what, when, where, and why.

I recommend this book because it also puts death into perspective.

For anyone who does not want to discuss death or hs a fear of it, I would recommend finding something else to read.

I learned more about crimes, the human body, how crimes and identifications of people are discovered and solved, and the education required to have a career working with the dead.
