Changes

It's a good story too, perhaps lacking a little in pace in the middle section but otherwise moving smartly along. The pill-popping coroner could have made for a clunky story but Hall avoids that and manages to present a side of the law with which few of us will be familiar. There's a satisfying conclusion and a feeling of a book well worth reading.

Contrary to expectation the classic [[Coroner's Pidgin by Margery Allingham]] didn't have much to do with the coroner, but I this type of book appeals to you then we can recommend [[The Chemistry of Death by Simon Beckett]].
