Description
‘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: ‘Blackly humorous, with a fabulously one-of-a-kind protagonist’ Heat Magazine ‘Ingenious and sardonically written’ Financial Times ‘[A] gritty novel with an engaging heroine’ Sunday Times ‘A terrific, well-placed plot’ Spectator ‘Cassie Raven is a lot of fun to spend time with’ Big Issue ‘Excellent fun, compulsive and Cassie Raven is a protagonist I want to meet again soon’ James Oswald ‘Cassie Raven is a blast of fresh air, striding onto the crime scene like a punk superstar’ Sarah Hilary ‘Move over Silent Witness – Cassie Raven is an utterly compelling contemporary forensic heroine’ Isabelle Grey ‘A fresh and exciting new series’ Claire McGowan ‘I loved it. It was awesome! Dark humour and gore galore – Cassie Raven is my new favourite character . . . it was like Silent Witness, but much more believable’ Susi Holliday
