Carla Valentine is a person writing about how she progressed in her early career as a mortuary assistant conducting autopsies. It wasn't totally clear what drew her to this profession but she certainly became engrossed in it. You have to be pretty unique for this line of work, not for most. She takes us through her trials and tribulations of learning her trade and the typical challenges at times of a woman in a boy's club. But she steadily progresses because of her seeming passion for the work. The descriptions of the work she performs takes on a fairly clinical tone with some interesting cases. We also get a glimpse into her personal life. The loneliness she encounters that most of us do at sometimes in our lives. A great heart break also that alters her outlook on her career and results in some changes. As the book winds down she offers some takes on her profession and life and death in general which were interesting. Overall however the book was rather blase and almost technical in nature that elicited the occasional yawn. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Curiously, I discovered the US version uses the same name as her blog, The Chick and the Dead, whereas the UK version is Past Mortems. ( )
