What to expect
Cassie has always had a strange affinity with death, ever since her parents were killed in a car crash when she was four. At least that's what she grew up believing...
But that was a lie. Cassie's father is alive. He was convicted of murdering her mother and spent years behind bars. Now he's out - and he's looking for her.
He swears he didn't do it. And Cassie wants to believe him.
To find the truth, she must turn detective. As she seeks answers, help is to be found in inexplicable places - for the dead are ready to talk.
Critics Review
Superb … The second volume in Turner’s Cassie Raven series is every bit as good as the first
A forensic thriller of quiet assurance, and Cassie is a distinctive, authoritatively realised protagonist
I love this series!
Engrossing, sharp, utterly original. Cassie Raven is the forensic heroine we didn’t know we needed
A must-read series now. The setting, the pacing and the wonderful cast of characters are all pitch perfect
AK Turner is a classy writer who has created a warm, engaging and original lead character in Cassie Raven. If you want something different look no further
An engrossing and intriguing read
AK Turner has done it again … If you loved Body Language, then strap yourself in for the ride – Life Sentence is even better. Twisty and tremendous!
We predict you’ll fly through it as quickly as we did…You’ll root for Cassie and her determination to find answers
A. K. Turner spins science into spellbinding storytelling
User Reviews
The antagonistic back and forth between Cassie and DS Phyllida Flyte was really fun with Cassie trying to needle her into investigating things so she could get answers. I enjoyed watching Phyllida continue to develop from book 1 and face up to some hard things. I loved the magical realism elements of the book with Cassie's observation skills and intuition as she hears the words of some of her guests in the mortuary. The interplay between this and Cassie's scientific mindset was really interesting.
This is the first x-book I've read and it was great to be able to go to the text and look up something I missed or a phrase I particularly loved. I also enjoyed being able to look up how the Polish and Latin words were spelt. I can't wait to listen to book 3 Case Sensitive.
