Why did you read this book? I misinterpreted the synopsis and thought that the book would be about a woman who became an anatomist’s apprentice to investigate her brother’s death. Instead, she just asked the anatomist to investigate himself.

Has Jeremy read it? No.

42-word review: This book was tedious and had too many plot twists that weren’t even clever; they just made me annoyed it wasn’t over yet. It was too enamored with the protagonist’s supposed genius and managed to make the development of forensic science boring.

Overall rating: 2 post-mortems (out of 5)
