Beschreibung

The dead do not hide the truth and they never lie. Through me the dead can speak ...

Dr Richard Shepherd is the UK's foremost forensic pathologist, his job to understand the deaths which may have no natural cause. From crime scene to court room, his findings are crucial to the pursuit of justice. His work has seen killers put behind bars, exonerated the innocent, and turned open and shut cases on their heads.
Shepherd's obsession with revealing the secrets of the dead is personal. At medical school, while performing his first autopsy, he held the heart of the patient in his hand and thought of his late mother, taken too early by heart disease.
He became driven by the challenge of finding the truth, of seeing justice, and by compassion: sometimes for the dead, but always for those they have left behind.
Thoughtful, revealing, chilling, sometimes bizarre and always unputdownable, Unnatural Causes is the true crime book of the year.

I started the book and got 40% through and honestly I was going to give it 3 stars but the ending literally made me change my mind. I absolutely love his accuracy and his determination to really relay facts for facts without avoiding his emotions. I think the ending when he described his PTSD really humanised who he is. He isn't affected by the dead and it really shows that despite his trying to escape from anything emotional for him to really truly reach a good understanding and caring for his work he had to deal with emotions. I think Dr. Shepherd's dad's explosive anger contributed to his PTSD and the end of his 1st marriage but also probably the selfish desires in their marriage. Just speculating. Fantastic read although it does get tedious at times.

As a German, I found it difficult to understand the languages at some points. Since I love true crime, I picked this up and it was super interesting! I gave it only 3 stars because I felt like sometimes the structure of the story was a bit off, especially the time jumps and passages to explain thing in the middle of a case. All in all, I enjoyed getting to know this work, different cases and I loved reading about 'weird' things like the reactions of the human body after death.
