I started a new book that is called "Stiff" it's about what happens to human cadavers. It's interesting.

Is the book about what happens to the body once it goes to a medical school or some thing similar?

Yes but It also goes into body snatching and cannibalism. Very interesting. The author is Mary Roach.

Is this book something that would interest a mystery/thriller writer?

Like is there information that could be worked into a plot?

What made you interested in the subject of the book.

I've bought several non-fiction books about a lot of forensic stuff, what motivates a criminal, one on police procedure/investigation, and private investigating. One called, Urge to Kill that I can't read. It is too dark for me to get into the mind of killers too much. At least I chose not to read it after I bought it, when my depression kicked up its ugly head. It is still here on my shelf waiting until I need some insights.

It is a non fiction book that has no plot lines but it touches on the life of human cadavers by telling true stories about what happens to bodies donated to the enhancement of science. Many people don't realize what happens or don't care. I have chosen this book to read because
i'm an organ donor and I feel the only purpose for my body would be to help other people.

I'm interested in that sort of thing, from the point of view, "what can I learn from it to help me be a more realistic fiction writer".

Maybe I'll look for it in the library. The title is easy enough to remember as is the author.

Thanks

I love that book.

The first time I went into a psychiatric hospital they wouldn't let me have it because of my mental state and type of hallucinations and my obsessive about abnormal things.

When I got out I read it. Haha. But it is really interesting.
