It follows the accounts of Australian pathologists solving true crime murders in Australia and identifying bodies in natural disasters over seas.  I found it more of an overview and summary of the actual event rather than the forensic science involved by the pathologist. Meshel briefly mentions how jury's can have bias on murder court cases because how the forensic evidence is presented is different from the TV dramas they watch. I wanted the novel to go deeper into that and maybe debunk what we watch. It was a good book but maybe the title is a bit misleading.
