As a medical detective of the modern world, forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal’s chief goal is to bring perpetrators to justice. He has performed thousands of autopsies, which have helped bring numerous criminals to book.

In Autopsy he covers the hard lessons learnt as a rookie pathologist, as well as some of the most unusual cases he’s encountered. During his career, for example, he has dealt with high-profile deaths, mass disasters, death by lightning and people killed by African wildlife.

Blumenthal takes the listener behind the scenes at the mortuary, describing a typical autopsy and the instruments of the trade. He also shares a few trade secrets, like how to establish when a suicide is more likely to be a homicide.

Even though they cannot speak, the dead have a lot to say - and Blumenthal is there to listen.

Times of laughter (no body, no nose) but mostly a pure education, enlightenment, and understanding of forensics. Thoughtfully written and well read. A good listen for anyone alive to remember to appreciate life.

It is a book daringly written with honesty and scientific rigour. That provides insight to both the pathological aspects and criminology. The life lessons was authentic and hit home. Highly recommended

This book contained some rare insight into forensic pathology specifically in Africa. It was just the right length and enough detail to make it interesting. The narrator was also very good as a bad narrator can destroy an otherwise good book.

Informative and interesting

I've read many medical examiner books and audio books over the years. This is by far the absolute best medical examiner/forensic pathologist I've ever encountered so far. This audiobook was so inspiring from start to finish, and, at times, I didn't want to stop listening to it because I wanted to know what was in the next chapter! Absolutely excellent narrator as well. The only bad part of this book is when I finally finished it...I didn't want it to end! I wanted to know even more about his cases and career.

10/10 perfection 🤌

The best pathologist book and audio book ever.
