### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Such a well written and edited book
  

*by P***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2023*

At times difficult to read because of the content, as a medical person I appreciated the authentic descriptions. I felt the entire book , chapter by chapter, was so well written and extremely interesting. I have often read books where I came upon a phrase and cringed at the lack of editing, but not once did that happen here even with the complexity of the descriptions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A compelling book with a high yuck factor
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2018*

The author, Emily Craig earned a Ph.D. in forensic physical anthropology from the University of Tennessee and became Kentucky's state forensic anthropologist.  She served with the Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office until her retirement in 2010.  While working on her Ph.D, she spent time on Dr. William Bass's famous Body Farm.  If you've read any or all of Dr. Bass's fictional accounts of the Body Farm (co-authored with Jon Jefferson), you'll have a good idea of what "Teasing Secrets from the Dead" is about, except the yuck factor is much higher.  Example:"Skull fragments and teeth often filter down into the base of the skull, the neck, or even the victim's decomposing chest cavity, and then I have to grope around to find them, feeling through dark brownish-green tissues that resemble nothing so much as chocolate pudding into which someone has stirred a few cups of chunky vomit."Even Dr. Craig is grossed out by maggots, but she's learned to live with them.  There's a scene in the autopsy room, where  "tens of thousands of maggots [are] boiling up out of the chest cavity like suds overflowing from a washing machine."  And that isn't even the grossest part.  The grossest part is when the maggots start crawling up her arm and "migrating up toward my face, with its tempting facial openings."Anyone who thinks he or she might be interested in becoming a forensic anthropologist needs to read this book.Dr. Craig applies her training to down-home Kentucky murders, but she has also been called in on national tragedies such as the Oklahoma City bombing (April 19, 1995) that killed 168 people, the deaths of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas (April 1993), and the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001.  The amount of information she is able to 'tease' from bone fragments, teeth, and other bits of what was once a human being is truly amazing.  As a writer, she has the gift of putting you right there in the autopsy room, on the muddy river bank, or down a claustrophobic mine shaft wherever remains have been found.  This is a very compelling read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
