Body Language

Spellbinding storytelling'' Val McDermid''A first-rate crime novel . . . I loved it'' Elly Griffiths''One of the best series openers I''ve read in years'' Jane Casey For fans of Tess Gerritsen and Kathy Reichs comes a gripping debut thriller introducing Camden''s most exciting new forensic investigator. Cassie Raven believes the dead can talk. We just need to listen . . . People think being a mortuary technician is a seriously weird job. They can''t understand why I choose to cut up dead bodies for a living. But they don''t know what I know: The dead want to tell us what happened to them. I''ve eviscerated thousands of bodies, but never someone I know before - someone who meant a lot to me; someone I loved. The pathologist says that her death was an accident. Her body is telling me differently. Praise for Body Language:''What a wonderful creation is Cassie Raven! You should go out and pre-order it now.
