The narrator nails it! The author, though...

Revisado: 12-18-23

The narrator absolutely nails the spirit and inflection of the author's words. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her!

I also absolutely loved that this book tells it like it REALLY is in the CSI world. I've long been fascinated by TV shows from NCIS to Forensic Files, but none of them portray anything close to reality. This book is all reality, and it's very refreshing, in that sense.

The author also seems to have her head on straight in terms of the fact that racism is bad; but that's where her tolerance for social justice seems to end. The number of times mentally handicapped people, mentally ill people, and people with substance abuse issues are ridiculed and called derogatory names in this book is disturbing.

I get that it's difficult to maintain sympathy and empathy when one deals with difficult situations all night every night. But one would hope for a more reflective stance when writing from a retrospective position.

I don't imagine the author will ever read this review, but I did want to leave it in the hopes that it can help anyone with triggers surrounding mental health make an educated decision about whether or not to listen.
