Fantastic
This is one of the most exciting and gripping of autobiographies I've ever read.
Following the life works of one of the world's greatest pathologists, it looks at his many cases across the world. All from a time when forsenics was in its infancy and the interpretation of a bruise could mean life or death to a defendant.
It has all the emotions a reader could want to grip them into not putting it down. You'll squirm at the injustices that he could not prevent and marvel at others he prevented.
A first class work that is readable, factual and gripping.
