“What the Dead Know:
Leaning About Life as a New York City Death Investigator” By Barbara Butcher
Published by Simon and Schuster Audio
This book might not be for everyone but if you enjoy true
crime and/or watching shows like Bones and CSI, you’ll enjoy this one. The author was an investigator in NYC’s
medical examiner’s office and this is her story as to how she became an
investigator, stories of certain deaths she investigated, her 9/11 experience,
and the toll working in the field for over 20 years took on her mental state. I found it quite interesting and enjoyable to
listen to.
Personal bonus for me – both John Grisham and Patricia
Cornwell are mentioned towards the end of this book. Those are the authors of 2 books (A Time to
Kill and Postmortem, respectively) that kick started my reading journey in the
early 90s as a young adult. I don’t read their books as often anymore, but they
definitely made a positive impact early on so it was nice to hear their names
mentioned.
Finished 8/8/24 – 4/5 stars
