BTPBookclub (18 KP) rated Unnatural Causes: The Life and Many Deaths of Britain's Top Forensic Pathologist in Books

May 14, 2019

A great indepth look in a pathologists life

I picked this one up cause I had seen it around a lot and thought it was similar to This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay. Same genre (medical), TOTALLY DIFFERENT!

This is a non fiction book with an indepth look in to the life/work of a Pathologist and I when I say indepth I mean it. Parts are very descriptive, Stomach turning. It will take you on a real life journey to many post mortems from babies to the elderly and all in between. Which may be an unpleasant and an unsuitable read for some readers.

However, it is an eye opening read, I learnt a lot from this book. It contains some of the worlds biggest terror attacks and devastating incidents. We get a good glimpse into what happens after death, how they reach verdicts and how pathologists conduct their work. It is brutally honest and fascinating. A real page turner and brilliantly written.

I awarded a well deserved four stars and would highly recommend to you all.

When Wade met Cable aka deadpool 2: Judgment day

Ryan Reynolds returns as the foul mouthed, gun toting, wise cracking, fourth wall breaking merc with a mouth known as deadpool, this time around wade finds himself lumped with a kid, an angry muntant kid named Russell aka firefist. After failing to calm Russell and killing a bunch of dodgey looking "medical professionals" (deadpool? Kill? Never.....) they are both arrested and locked up in the ice box, mutant prison.
Things escalate quicky for the two as the prison is broken into by a time travelling bio-organic mutant known as Cable, whose objective is to kill a future terrorist and stop millions from dying - so naturally, wade find himself on the wrong side of Cable.

This genius masterpiece is hilarious from start to finish and does not tone down and features cameos from, Terry crews, Matt Damon, brad Pitt and more.

Starring pikachu....I mean Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T.J. Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jack Kesy.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2353 KP) rated No Comfort for the Lost (Mystery of Old San Francisco #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Celia Davies spends her days helping the women of 1867 San Francisco via her free medical clinic. One of her patients, a former Chinese prostitute is found murdered, and Celia must know what happened to her. Meanwhile, Nicholas Greaves is the police officer assigned to the case, and he is determined to get justice for the young woman. But where will the investigation lead?

This is a good debut that will please any fan of historical mysteries. The characters are intriguing, and their history makes them seem even more real. The plot did bog down a few times, but never for very long, and we reach a logical conclusion before the end. The world of 1867 is brought to wonderful life as well, and it’s easy to get lost in another time.

NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book in hopes I would review it.
