Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon is about a pathologist, Grace Reilly, who suspects that a recent death might be the work of a serial killer. Grace Reilly is used to death as a forensic pathologist in Missouri. She serves the state and performs autopsies all over Missouri, especially since the state doesn’t have enough pathologists on staff. While performing an autopsy on a recently deceased elderly person, she noticed something strange in the person’s stomach. Everyone believes that the elderly person died of natural causes, but Grace is hesitant to ignore her gut feeling.
Grace decides to take her concern to the new sheriff, Nate Cox. Nate doesn’t believe there is any foul play but when Grace insists that something is amiss, Nate decides to help her investigate. As the pair investigate the death, they realize that someone is desperate to keep a secret that will ruin many lives.
I found the book to be a quick-paced read with a few twists and turns. I was surprised by the ending and thought the book was well-written and thought out. I do like that there was a romantic element but also a mystery element. The book is the third book in the series, but I was able to read the book and enjoy it without having to read the other previous books. I would read more books by the author.
