A long review but interesting none the less! Can honestly say that I read it straight through (no skimming..promise) and didn’t feel my mind wandering to other things. (Good job!) As for the book, I’ve had this one recommended several times over…in fact a family member read it and enjoyed it very much (she is in fact a lover of almost all things medical, trauma, and survival so yeah, this is right up her alley). Will I read it? Not certain…but your review has my mind imaging a scene from one of Patricia Cornwell’s novels with Scarpetta roaming the “body farm” for research. (Good thing it’s not lunch time yet….) Thanks for sharing….and happy reading!
