About this listen

Spontaneous combustion and exhumation, drug mules and devil worshippers, a gruesome killing beneath the Palmerston North Airport control tower, a mysterious death in a historic homestead, a firsthand dissection of the infamous Mark Lundy case...

In The Cause of Death, provincial pathologist Dr. Cynric Temple-Camp lifts the lid on the most unusual stories of death and murder he's encountered during his 30-year career.

The natrator, Mark Davis, brings to life Dr Cynric Temple Camp's cases as a pathologist in South Africa and New Zealand. Temple-Camp relates his past cases with a detailed eye for storytelling but with compassion and sensitivity and appropriate humour. Loved this book and his previous book, The Quick and The Dead.

Masterful narration of intriguing sensitive investigation of causes of death

Learned about the cliff deaths as not drowning as we heard. Didn’t know what happened could happen.

Very interesting book. I enjoyed all of the stories. Explanations of his work and some of the horrors were told in a very caring manner.

Honest and humble

I enjoyed this book but personality-wise? I think I just do not mesh with the author's 'approach' to life and professionalism in the field. He's professional, no doubt, but he just didn't mesh with me. I enjoyed the book though, and found it interesting throughout. The narration is well paced and well performed. 4 stars.

Good fun, a little selfabsorbed

It was ok, enjoyed the pathologist stories. Too much on the court battles. It went on a bit and got a bit boring.

this was recommended by a family member in the medical field,
i'm too young to remember many of these cases but having lived only minutes from this hospital, so to hear about deaths in the area and the stories of these people was eerie and the unbiased story their deaths had to tell was phenomenal, Thank goodness there is a book #2!

off to find the next one
