Jacquie Purcell

With a title like that, I simply couldn't resist although I don't read a lot of non-fiction these days. My only criticism, the book was far too short.
Based on an Internet forum where participants were invited to ask a coroner questions, this is a well written summary of some of these questions and answers.
If you are interested in the work and experience of a coroner (who has a fantastic sense of dry humor), I suggest reading this little gem. It was fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the parts on the actual job of a coroner, on the body and on autopsies. Some of the information was quite specific to Jacqui Purcell's location of work, so not everything will be relevant to readers from other areas and countries, and the topic itself is obviously not everybody's cup of tea, but if you're filled with a morbid curiosity about death, what happens thereafter and even how to prepare for it (some valid points there), I can recommend this. I hope Korttany Finn and Jacqui Purcell decide to continue their writing partnership because I absolutely loved their witty commentary.
Thanks for providing me with a free copy via NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.… (meer)
