About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The heart-wrenchingly honest new book about life and death from forensic pathologist and best-selling author of Unnatural Causes, Dr Richard Shepherd.
This book is about death, but in it I will take listeners on a journey through life....
What can death teach us about life?
Conducting many thousands of post-mortems has given Dr Richard Shepherd the opportunity to examine death at every stage of life. Each autopsy is its own unique investigation, providing evidence of how, through life, the risks to us ebb and flow. From old to young, from murder to misadventure and from illness to accidental death, each body has taught him something: about human development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, about justice and even about himself.
From the best-selling author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving, endlessly fascinating and, above all, reassuring book about death as it touches our own lives - how to understand it, how best to postpone it, and, when our time comes (as it must come), how to embrace it, as the last great adventure on our journey through life.

The detective who is also a doctor
A memorable read. Richard Shepherd details a graphic yet poignant collection of cases that delves into a variety of emotions; from disgust, to fear, to joy and sadness.
As you read along, Richard invites you into a masterclass of critical analysis and problem solving as he delves further into the human body.

Fully holds my attention
Dr Shepherd has released another brilliant book and I’ve been raving about it to my Police Colleagues. Dr Shepherd is so thorough and his stories fascinating, with angles to keep an open mind while maintaining the dignity of the dearly departed. Highly recommend to anyone with an interest in forensic pathology.

Universal appeal
Who hasn’t wondered or worried about the process of passing on? This could give some reassurance.
Aside from that it was a timely reminder to consider the choices I make for my health - and that they do matter even though I can’t see the difference .
I could easily listen to this again. Thanks Dr Shepherd for a fascinating story. The work you do is so important and it’s good to know there are unbiased people in these positions

Brilliant!
Read both books written and narrated by Dr Richard Shepherd.
He has a great way of explaining even the most complicated intricacies of the human body in life and death.
Thoroughly recommend this book if it’s ‘your type of thing’.
If Dr Shephard reads this… write a third book please!

Can't wait for more from Dr Shepherd!
I have truly enjoyed this new offering from the his remarkably empathetic, articulate, and deeply intelligent author and narrator. Yet again, I have made a glutton of myself, devouring this new audiobook in a weekend and am left hungry for more. Please, Dr Shepherd, write for us again and share your wisdom and wit with a very appreciative audience.

Interesting and emotive
Whilst factual, the emotiveness of Dr Richard Shepherd's experience is captivating. The honesty of his experience and the knowledge he has gained makes this book come alive. I would highly recommend
