Dana Goldstein rated a book it was amazing Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner by Judy Melinek (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
At times gruesome, but fascinating. If you are curious about the work of a medical examiner, this is a must read. Content warning: there is a chapter about 9/11 that is especially difficult.
