About this listen
IN THE HUNT FOR A KILLER THE SCARS OF DEATH DON'T LIE
FROM IRELAND'S FORMER STATE PATHOLOGIST MARIE CASSIDY COMES A GRIPPING THRILLER WHERE THE SECRETS OF THE MORTUARY ARE UNCOVERED WITH SCALPEL-LIKE PRECISION.
Dr Terry O'Brien has recently arrived in Ireland from Scotland to take up a position as State Pathologist when a high-profile murder occurs. The victim is Rachel Reece, host of a popular true crime podcast on unsolved murders of Irish women and niece of a prominent politician.
As Terry gathers evidence to help with the police investigation, she becomes convinced that they are following the wrong line of inquiry and begins her own research. She soon finds herself in the thick of cold cases of murdered Irish women, with questions mounting.
What did Rachel Reece find out about the unsolved murder of Eileen McCarthy before she died? Who is sending ominous messages to Terry and what do they mean? And why is she increasingly at odds with her superiors?
Terry knows that the pathology never lies. But when her forensic skills reveal something that might hold the key to the case, little does she know the deadly risk of revealing the truth . . .

Refreshingly well written with grest relationships and a brilliant performance!
I listened to this book on a 13hr drive, sold on the fact that Dr Cassidy's previous work was really fascinating to me and I trusted she would bring an excellent forensic pathologist and scientific complement to criminology and crime fiction. I Was Not Disappointed. Compelling from the very beginning and with a deep care for realistic portrayals of women and sexism, while also shockingly accurate in depictions of day to day social interactions (jokes, friendships, laughter) that make this a very fun read.
The Whodunnit was satisfying and the loose ends came together very smoothly. There were enough clues to land the killer my suspicion early on, but the narrative kept me well engaged and I changed my mind a few times too!
For those in the forensic pathology camp wondering if this is a fun read - absolutely it is, and I think there are a couple of really fun nods to Dr Cassidy's nonfiction book as well, and a couple of other forensic sciences. Every contact leaves a trace!
Loved this read a lot and I'll be keeping an eye out for any other books by Dr Cassidy.
Very well performed with the accent slipping only occasionally, usually on the short 'o'. It became a quirk I rather liked in the reader's voice though. Recording has some very minor wet mouth sounds for one chapter right at the end which I think they neglected to edit out - I am misophonic to those noises though and it did not bother me enough to even pause the book, just a heads up they're there.
