Review: Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner

Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner by Judy Melinek

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This is a fascinating career memoir from trainee to 2-year veteran medical examiner. Very well narrated by Tanya Eby, the arc of this career goes from Big Apple crime and suicide to being on task for 9/11. There is a lot of autopsy details as well as managing the personal side with co-workers, victim's family, and a wise and witty mentor.
