Corpse: Nature, Forensics, and the Struggle to Pinpoint Time of Death25 reviews
Jessica Snyder Sachs

Basic Books, 2002

FASCINATING & CREEPY!
I couldn't put this book down. It is a must read for anyone interested in science, death, anatomy, or just the bizarre aspects of decomposition! Really interesting stuff in here and the writer is at turns witty, serious, and altogether a prolific story-teller. A definite favorite in my own collection of books to read and re-read. GREAT!
  
  











  



  
One Corpse Too Many: The Second Chronicle of Brother Cadfael27 reviews
Ellis Peters

Mysterious Press, 1994

Surprise and Delight
This is the Second Chronicle of Brother Cadfael and the author is still introducing the continuing cast of characters. As usual, a murder is discovered early on and eventually solved by Brother Cadfael's patient detective work, but the real interest here is less the crime than the character development. The redoubtable Hugh Beringar makes his appearance in this episode, and his complex and ...
  
  











  



  
"C" is for Corpse (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries)50 reviews
Sue Grafton

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005

Loved It!
I recently started reading the Kinsey Milhone series and this one so far is the best. On the first page, we learn that her client, Bobby, is dead and that she's never worked for a dead man before. The story moves quickly, and it was hard to put down.
  
  











  



  
The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Volume 14 reviews
Eiji Ohtsuka, Housui Yamazaki

Dark Horse, 2006

Fascinatingly Macabre
This book is definitely strange and gruesome but it is also brilliantly funny in a similarly dark way. The characters are interesting and vary nicely. The story is about a volunteer group of students who have banded together to help the dead find peace. The team includes a psychic, a dowser, an embalmer, and a channeler. If you have a strong stomach, an appreciation for the macabre, and a dark ...
  
  











  



  
The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 2)150 reviews
Laurell K. Hamilton

Jove, 2002

Gruesomely Great
Boy, and you thought the first one was bloody? This one was easily the goriest, most gruesome piece of writing I've seen outside of Stephen King and some of the schlock-fest fiction I've read in the past when no better option was available -- you know, the kind of thing where you're trapped in a waiting room and the magazines are old and water stained, but hmm, what's this paperback without a ...
  
  











  



  
Corpse Pose (Mantra for Murder Mysteries, No. 1)11 reviews
Diana Killian

Berkley, 2008

FUN BOOK!!
I really enjoyed this book. I adored the characters, and found the setting a little different and fun. I figured out who the culprit was, kind of early on, but that didn't take away the fun, or even once in a while, something would happen that would make me think I was wrong, so that was fun too!! I look forward to more books in this series, the way the author left the ending, I have to guess ...

I love LKH, she is a very talented writer. I have fallen in love with her books. Warning there is no sex in any of these books and I still love them. I have never thought that would be possible. If you are an LKH fan having where it started is important.

Liao Yiwu

Pantheon, 2008

Deeply memorable collection of stories - highly recommended
I read this book after seeing a positive review in the Chicago Tribune and it did not disappoint. Each story of everyday Chinese citizens and their struggles was very memorable, touching and thought-provoking. As an American, I also found it very enlightening, and thought the stories were so important that I recommended the book to family and friends. The Corpse Walker is the kind of book you ...

Organize Your Corpses (A Charlotte Adams Mystery)8 reviews
Mary Jane Maffini

Berkley, 2007

A new series kicks off with a couple of unexpected and entertaining twists
Mary Jane Maffini is a well-establish writer of mysteries in Canadian settings. This book, the first of a new series, and set in a small American town, appears to be her novelistic attempt to escape what is sometimes called "the beaver pile" up here in the Frozen North. On the basis of this outing, I think Ms. Maffini has made a successful transition--and good luck to her! Ms. Maffini is no ...

A Corpse in the Koryo (Inspector O Novels)25 reviews
James Church

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2007

Dark, Moody, Mysterious Delving into a Closed Society
Quiet, slow, scraping away one layer at a time, deeper and deeper into the depths of a society where no one can be honest, where everyone must lie, where everyone lives in quiet fear, all all all the time. Unimaginable but for an author like Church to lead the way, ever more deeply into how human beings survive, live, grow, and find their ways to one another. I appreciated this chance to wonder ...
  
  











  



  
Sue Grafton: Three Complete Novels; A, B & C: A is for Alibi; B is for Burglar; C is for Corpse27 reviews
Sue Grafton

Wings, 1999

Three books in one-COOL!
It was so easy to read three in a row. I think I had the whole three books finished in three days! It's nice to have many books into one because then you don't have to buy the next one or wait to go to the library when it opens next, or even to see if the library has it! It was so nice!!!

Poppy Z. Brite

Touchstone, 1997

Sick and Twisted but Superb!
there are people saying this book is a "waste" but you can only say that if you don't have a fascination for serial killers. Or if you don't mind reading about homosexuality, necrophilia, or cannibalism in every chapter. this book is not for the weak and that is almost an understatement. i love anything to do with gore, suspense, horror or drama. this book took everything i have ever read to ...
