Welcome to Litsy!

Got a free bookmark in my used book 🤣🚽🧻

This is a very interesting book. It relates stories from the professional life of Ken Holmes, who was the county coroner in Marin County. Several high profiles cases are related, including the Mitchell Brothers and the Children of Thunder murders. Not so much about forensics as about how humans deal with death and loss. I give it a 4 out of 5 rating. Read it if true crime is one of your addictions.

This is one wonderful read about this lesser known profession - coroner. Here, we get a closer look into the professional and personal life of Ken Holmes - a coroner in Marin County, California for almost four decades. If you enjoy Mary Roach's books, you will definitely enjoy this too! It is one morbidly fascinating unputdownable book!

Rating: 5🌟

Interesting series of anecdotes rather than any sort of coherent account of training or things learnt on the job

Giving her a name like that, how could her parents expect things to turn out well?

Interesting! Makes me want to read more Coroner books.

My reading buddy. She has to be VERY close to me, which makes reading tough.
