Richard Shepherd writes forensic memoir about post-mortem examinations, suspicious deaths and the work of explaining injury for police, courts and families. Unnatural Causes follows cases from his career as a forensic pathologist, including disasters, murders and deaths where the body provides evidence that witness accounts cannot. The Seven Ages of Death organises further cases around stages of human life, from infancy to old age, while also reflecting on the emotional cost of repeated exposure to violent and unexpected death. Shepherd's prose is clear, restrained and case-led, with medical detail explained for non-specialists. His work fits forensic pathology, true crime and medical memoir, especially for readers interested in how cause of death is established. Read more Less
