Über diesen Titel

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.

The story is fine, nothing too impressive but a nice quick listen with likable characters.

The thing is.... The narrator has a lisp. I listen to books at 1.8 / 2.0 which helps but when you listen to it at normal speed, it is almost unbearable. I liked her way of telling the story but the lisp can be irritating.

Story is fine but narrator has a lisp

Although there are mystery elements, I did not find them particularly compelling. To my mind too much was overexplained, slowing the narrative down and dragging the story out. Despite being set in a mortuary, the story is neither really dark nor gritty, at times I was a bit bored to be honest. I doubt that I will follow the other instalments, there are too many other books out there which I find more interesting.

Ok, but not gripping
