Body Language: 'Spellbinding storytelling' Val McDermid
Spellbinding storytelling' Val McDermid 'A first-rate crime novel . . . I loved it' Elly Griffiths 'One of the best series openers I've read in years' Jane Casey For fans of Tess Gerritsen and Kathy Reichs comes a gripping debut thriller introducing Camden's most exciting new forensic investigator. Cassie Raven believes the dead can talk. We just need to listen . . . People think being a mortuary technician is a seriously weird job. They can't understand why I choose to cut up dead bodies for a living. But they don't know what I know: The dead want to tell us what happened to them. I've eviscerated thousands of bodies, but never someone I know before - someone who meant a lot to me; someone I loved. The pathologist says that her death was an accident. Her body is telling me differently. Praise for Body Language: 'What a wonderful creation is Cassie Raven! You should go out and pre-order it now. Excellent fun, compulsive and Cassie Raven is a protagonist I want to meet again soon' James Oswald 'Cassie Raven is a blast of fresh air, striding onto the crime scene like a punk superstar' Sarah Hilary 'Move over Silent Witness - Cassie Raven is an utterly compelling contemporary forensic heroine' Isabelle Grey 'A fresh and exciting new series' Claire McGowan 'I loved it. It was awesome! Dark humour and gore galore - Cassie Raven is my new favourite character . . . it was like Silent Witness, but much more believable' Susi Holliday

Wouldn't call it "spellbinding" but was good. Liked the Cassie character. Audiobook was performed very slowly so had to speed it up!!
Took me a while to get into this, but in the end it was a good book.
Cassie is a Mortician who talks to the dead. After a body goes missing from the mortuary things don't look good for Cassie as it was her pin that was used on the door after hours. A CID agent takes a disliking to Cassie immediately as she has tattoos, piercings, an undercut and seems like a "goth". Plus the fact she is a mortician and has skulls in her house.
Cassie has a friend that was her science teacher in night school, the dies but Cassie thinks something else happened even though it points to something else in the autopsy.
Overall it was a good book.
