Why read it?

1 author picked Unnatural Causes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Forensic pathologist Dr. Richard Shepherd has performed over 23,000 autopsies over his career. This has given him a unique perspective on life and death.

His description of his arrival at one of the first crime scenes he’d attended The Hungerford Massacre is worth the price of this book alone. It reads a like a haunting, eerie screenplay. Driving through a normal, ordinary suburban housing estate, coming across body after body. Haunting and respectful.

Shepherd also deals with the difficulty of not taking his work home with him after examining the results of the horrors people can inflict upon one another.
