About this listen

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.

A+++ narrator. Very entertaining

Cassie Raven is a rebel, but a very likeable rebel . She is settled in her job at Camden mortuary, she cares for the dead and they tell her their secrets. When the body of her friend and teacher, Mrs E, is brought into the mortuary Cassie feels that something is very, very wrong especially after meeting Mrs E’s estranged son. Convinced that the police will not take her seriously Cassie is determined to investigate on her own. Will she find out the truth or has she stepped into something more deadly than she realises? Excellent characters and a great story, really enjoyable.

It was so nice to have a different story. I couldn't stop listening to it.
There were twists & turns all the way through. It was thought proving, funny, sad, deep & exciting. I went on straight away to the next one! If A. K. Turner reads this, please can we have more Cassie Raven stories? A note must also go to Ellie Kendrick who's narration made the story.

A real 'page' turner
