Summary
Meet the forensic pathologist, Dr Richard Shepherd, in the true crime book of the year - brought to you by Penguin.
'The dead do not hide the truth and they never lie. Through me the dead can speak....'
He solves the mysteries of unexplained or sudden death.
He has performed over 23,000 autopsies, including investigating some of the most high-profile cases of recent times; the Hungerford Massacre, the Princess Diana inquiry, and 9/11.
He has faced serial killers, natural disasters, 'perfect murders' and freak accidents.
His evidence has put killers behind bars, freed the innocent and turned open-and-shut cases on their heads.
Yet all this has come at a huge personal cost.
Written and narrated by Dr Richard Shepherd, Unnatural Causes tells the story of not only the cases and bodies that have haunted him the most, but also how to live a life steeped in death.

Loved it.
Fascinating listen. Particularly resonated as I am a similar age to the author and so remember with some horror all of the major incidents which he covers with such humanity. Well narrated.

An amazing book
An amazing book, written and read by an extremely talented yet humble person. OK, it gets a bit gory in places, but it is absolutely fascinating to listen to Richard as he investigates then discusses some of the UK's most famous deaths.

An honest and insightful biography
Dr Shepherd tells of his interesting career in a very honest and humble account. He talks of some well known cases and lesser known but explains the processes, considerations and skill required in a pathology career. Appreciated his honesty and ability to admit mistake and enjoyed how well he reflected on each case. Very interesting listen for anyone in the medical profession.

Very good listen
Really enjoyed this book. One gains great insight into the work of a top Forensic Pathologist, the trials they go through everyday in their chosen career. Dr Shepherd also talks of his personal life and the stresses this kind of career can put on the family. Dr Shepherd has completed autopsies as part of the investigation of many notorious crimes and disasters. Well narrated by the author
