A body is found in the woods. Ben Cooper gets the job of trying to figure out who she was, and how she got there. And, of course, it quickly gets complicated. ( )

First time reading this author. An education in the obsession & horrors some people practise or study about death and secret techniques of the funeral trade. The flesh eater & the death place need searching for with minimal clues .
It would seem it's hard to dispose of a body legally especially when its already been cremated.
A good read told well.

This was another long read for me. I think this book seemed a little longer than it actually was because I found myself rereading parts at times. Now, don't take that the wrong way. I wasn't rereading them because I didn't understand them. I had to go back to reread certain parts because I thought I missed something I should have picked up on. Now, in my book, that is a good thing.

This is unique to me because I haven't really read many books like this. Now, I have never read any of the other books in this series, so I think I might be missing some pieces to the characters. I haven't gotten to know them over time, like others have. That is not to say one needs to read the others before this. I just felt like I was missing a few links with the characters is all.

This book will have you guessing and reguessing... It's like the old board game Clue. You remember that game don't you? Whodunit, where, with what... Except we know many of the key parts; we just have to put the important pieces together correctly.

The easy, yet not so easy, relationship between the detectives adds to this book's story. They are almost how you would envision them... or at least I envisioned them with trench coats and hats on. I don't know why. I think when I think of English detectives, I think of men and women in trench coats and hats... Just my own little stereotype I guess.

I am not going into detail about the plot. It is in the blurb, and it gives you all of the information you really need. Like I have said in many reviews, if I give you anymore to the plot, I might end up spoiling things for you or confusing you.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice break from the romance and love stories that are floating around on my Kindle. I like a good mystery or a good thriller now and then. ( )

This was quite a puzzling book for me to rate. I did enjoy the book, but at points it didn't fully hold my interest, partially I think because there didn't seem enough about an investigation of a murder, or enough about the private lives of the characters. However, if you want to know more about the process of the bodies when someone dies it is very interesting, and by that I mean the involvement of undertakers and exactly what they do. Overall this is a good series and it is set in an area not a million miles from where I live and which I know well, but always feel the books miss something that would make them even better - it may also be that they are a tad longer than they need to be. I will, however, be continuing the series as I enjoy them and the interactions between the characters. Also this book left off at quite an interesting point. ( )
