Good morning all, hope you are all having a good hump day. Today we are going to review DEATH BY AUTOPSY A TONI DAY MYSTERY by Jane Bennett Munroe.
BOOK BLURB
Pathologist Toni Day is faced with a situation most pathologists only joke about. Beulah Pritchard comes back to life on her autopsy table. Beulah was a coworker of Toni’s at Cascade Perrine Regional Medical Center, where she was known as a merciless gossip, happiest to attack female doctors with slander and lies.
Beulah drove her car off a snow-covered road with her husband’s dead body in the trunk. Although Beulah survived her injuries and hypothermia, she died, only to come alive on Toni’s table—and die again. Beulah’s estranged sister threatens to sue both Toni and the hospital for wrongful death, but it’s soon apparent both Beulah and her husband were murdered.
To save her career and the hospital, Toni investigates the mysterious deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard. Her inquiries uncover a decades-old scheme of embezzlement, blackmail, and more. Soon, someone is on Toni’s tail: the killer, desperate to stop the curious pathologist from uncovering the truth. In order to stay alive, Toni must confront a vicious and clever murderer who will do anything to keep the past under wraps.
MY REVIEW
This is my first book by this author and trust me it will not be my last . This is a medical and criminal thriller that will take you on such a ride. Toni is a pathologist that is also a super sleuth in her free time . And the poor girl is shaken by a dead person come back to life on her table and the mayhem continues they must find the killer before its too late.
Toni is a very educated character who has very strong morals and is very exuberant. She is a very goal oriented and is like a dog with a bone when on the job. She will go the distance to find the clues and ultimately take down the bad guy. She kind a reminds me of Isles from Rizzoli and Isles . She is smart, quirky and does her job really , really well. She cracks a joke to break up the silence while doing autopsies. She is so much fun to read, and honestly doesn't get boring with the all the technical wording . The secondary cast of characters help round out the whole story .
This is a medical mystery that will take you on a twisty turny roller coaster ride. Even with the medical terminology it is a very enjoyable read . Toni will take you on the every day adventures in the morgue. The book is so well researched and it should be seeing as the author is a pathologist in real life . So she knows what goes on in the morgue on a daily basis. From the boredom and the jokes that they have about people coming back to life on the table. There are some disturbing scenes in the book. When she is describing in detail the autopsy incisions in detail . Yes I admit it I did groan a few times .But did not put the book down I just kept reading and loved it . Loved the twists and turns . So if you want a medical thriller that will keep you reading all night long this is the book for you . Check it out . I know you won't be disappointed . I know I wasn't
