Recensioner

As written in the book description: This is not for the faint-hearted reader

Book Description

Each man kills the thing he loves…

A body is found in an empty house.

A body without its limbs. And head.

Dr. John Eisenmenger is tasked with examining the torso to uncover clues which will lead to its identity and cause of death; a grisly job even for the most hardened of pathologists.

But as the investigation unfolds, the team discovers that there is much, much worse to come, and in addition, there is growing suspicion that there is a link between the two cases.

I have just realised that this book is number 11 in a long-running series! And I have not read ANY of the previous books!
Reading this book as a standalone works but I feel I would have been more invested in this book if I had read the series in the proper order.

Keith McCarthy, is himself a practicing pathologist and knows a great deal about cadavers and forensics and there is a lot of detail about the dissection of bodies so there are parts of this book which gets a bit grisly with plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading.

I think that the realism added by the author from his own experience with the medical aspects added to the book and gives it an edge on other books in this genre.

I will definitely be recommending this book to my friends and I will go back and start at book 1 when i get chance.

A statisical increase in the deaths at the hospital results in Dr. Claire Woodforde involving John Eisenmenger. Meanwhile Detective Chief Inspector Beverley Wharton starts to investigate the appearance of torsos.
An interesting mystery which held my interest to the conclusion.

When Charlie Daniels dies on his allotment the verdict is natural causes. But Dr Lance Elliot is undecided especially when another member of the allotment dies. By then Inspector Masson takes charge.
Set in 1975 this cozy mystery is an enjoyable well-written story. With the added plus of likeable main characters.
