Summary
Michelle Williams, an attractive young woman with close family ties and an active social life, describes her first extraordinary year in her unusual new job as a mortuary technician. It’s a year in which, with innate good humour, she encounters death at its most tragic, bizarre, and hilarious. Her tale, neither gruesome nor sad, is enlivened by a range of colourful and eccentric characters, from pathologists and coroners to hospital porters and undertakers, giving us a glimpse of life - and death - that few of us will ever experience.

Well Read, would Recommend
This audio was very informative and very well read by a Brit, most enjoyable, humerous and quite sad in parts but then so is life, and death!

Strange But Excellent Read
My curiosity got the better of me when I purchased this book, and I'm so glad it did. What a fantastic and strangely inspirational read. I thoroughly reccomend this book.

Outstanding
I have so enjoyed this book. Written with honesty and integrity. Michelle did not sensationalise her story just told it how it is. I have been closely associated with death during my career so was very interested in what happens afterwards. It was so good to hear as much respect is given after as we gave before and told in such an honest way.
The addition of Michelle's family life also added interest and showed that she is a normal person doing a remarkable job.
Michelle may not be Agatha Christie or Jeffrey Archer but she can tell a fascinating truthful story.
I shall recommend this book to friends

Brilliant !
Thoroughly captivated listening to this book, it really was fascinating to listen to what goes on in the mortuary, but in such detail ! The narrator makes it very easy to listen and they just kept me hooked the whole time listening ! Definitely up there with one of my favourite listens !

10/10 I would recommend this to all my friends.
An interesting and informative listen that I very much enjoyed. A good amount of Gallows humour, wit, heart and interesting titbits of knowledge regarding the trade.
