This was in the same vein as Morgue and a Working Stiff, although not as successful for me as those two. If you're interested in autopsies, morgues, and/or dead people, it is an interesting read. This was my first time using Hoopla and I hope I continue to find books on there that are unavailable to me through my library.

Bostonmomx2 I'm so getting this for my mom for Christmas! She'll love it 😁 7y

Dolly I liked Working Stiff so much more than the Roach book. I stacked Morgue and looking forward to this read as they are my kind of books 🙂 7y
Reviewsbylola It has been years since I read Stiff, so my recollection of it is not as strong, but I agree that Working Stiff and as better. And I think you will love Morgue! @dolly 7y

Lucylovesreading I've never heard of Hoopla I use Overdrive and it sounds like the same thing. 7y
Reviewsbylola Hoopla has no holds, as far as I can tell. So you sign in through your library and it notifies you how many checkouts per month your library authorizes (for mine it is 15). This could potentially be very helpful to me as my library has very long gold times on ebooks but since I have barely used Hoopla, I can't tell yet how great their title availability is. Another plus is they may have books your library doesn't even have. @Lucylovesreading 7y
Lucylovesreading Ok awesome I'll check it out 7y

Taking a break from the grading to post for the photo challenge. This is my #fictionnonfictionpair - a book about the importance of burial practices to our overall understanding of ancient societies, paired with a mystery series about a biological anthropologist using these skills to solve recent murders! #seasonsreadings2016

bookwrm526 The fiction in the pairing is the first of the Ruth Galloway series 7y

Melinek is catching flak. 1)Gore: given the subject I'm baffled this is a problem. If it gives you the willies, not for you! 2)involvement in 9/11 aftermath: deemed insensitive. Would it have been better if she excluded carnage &replaced it w/ vagaries that left readers removed from the shared consciousness she was attempting to instill? Balancing autobio, science, reverence, &comedy, Melinek gives a glimpse into a profession hedged by death.
