About this listen
As a medical detective of the modern world, forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal’s chief goal is to bring perpetrators to justice. He has performed thousands of autopsies, which have helped bring numerous criminals to book.
In Autopsy he covers the hard lessons learnt as a rookie pathologist, as well as some of the most unusual cases he’s encountered. During his career, for example, he has dealt with high-profile deaths, mass disasters, death by lightning and people killed by African wildlife.
Blumenthal takes the listener behind the scenes at the mortuary, describing a typical autopsy and the instruments of the trade. He also shares a few trade secrets, like how to establish when a suicide is more likely to be a homicide.
Even though they cannot speak, the dead have a lot to say - and Blumenthal is there to listen.

A well narrated and insightful book written by someone who could make a career out of death. It was a really very interesting book which kept me "glued to my earphones"

Illuminating and fascinating
The book is written well with just the right amount of humour and horror. There are many areas of scientific explanation to satiate those interested in the pathology and enough beautiful humility and introspection for the general reader. The author even shares their rules to living a fulfilling life towards the end of the book. Generally a great book with a fantastic narrator.

Mildly condescending
Some good and interesting stories interspersed with much over-explanation. reads like a first year textbook. Narrator is quite good, but the material is not very engaging.

Human Excellence
We are so fortunate to have Ryan & the work he sets out to do as he handles life & death with such care and a full heart. A real eye opener to how fascinating life really is when explored to the fullest! Thank you for taking the time to write this book & sharing your pearls of wisdom, as now I understand the importance of my decisions in life.

Narcissism 101
Judgemental narcissist with no writing skills. Boring lists of tools etc with little story in between. Apart from the horrendous story of his condescension to patients in Bradford.
