Summary
The dead can talk - we just need to listen....
Camden mortuary assistant Cassie Raven has pretty much seen it all. But this is the first time she's come face to face with someone she knew on the slab. Someone she cared about.
Geraldine Edwards, the teacher responsible for her returning to education after she got ensnared in a life of drugs. The woman who acted as a second mother to the orphaned Cassie.
Deeply intuitive and convinced that she can pick up the last thoughts of the dead, Cassie senses that there must be more to the ruling of an accidental death. With Mrs E's evasive son demanding the release of his mother's body, Cassie knows that time is running out to find answers. Is her grief making her see things that aren't there? Or is her intuition right, and there's something more sinister to Mrs E's death than the ME thinks? Harbouring an innate distrust of the police, Cassie sets out to investigate the death and deliver justice for the woman who saved her life.
For fans of Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway series and Kathy Reichs' Temperance Brennan comes a new heroine for forensic medicine.

beautifully written
this is not my usual type of detective story that I tend to go for (gritty, gory, Scottish and sweary) but I was transfixed by bothe narration and the style of writing... looking forward to listening to the next one.

Didn't think I'd like this but I found I did. Even though I'm a baby boomer. Well worth a lister

Clever compelling and brilliantly read
I found this a great listen. Compelling story and nicely rounded characters. The narration really worked well, and I will definitely seek out both author and narrator again.

charming postmortem detective drama
really enjoyed the story and how it unravelled. struggled fir the first part because I found the narrators voice too child like and didn't feel it suited the main character however her ability to switch between Welsh characters and English won me over and the narration grew on me

Loved it
Really enjoyed this and am looking forward to seeing if there are more books in a series. Took a wee while to get used to the narration but she really added to it.

Body Language, excellent
An interesting take on a much loved genre. Well researched without any scientific blunders that I could detect. The main characters are well fleshed out and the storyline has a satisfying denouement, highly recommended.

Excellent narrator
Loved this audio book and really not my normal type of choice. What really made this book for me was the narrators voice, I thought she played it brilliantly, especially when the main character spoke to her guests in her work place. I'm quite sad that this seems to be a standalone book and not a series as I'd have loved to hear more from the characters.
