The Coroner - M. R. Hall (2009)
I'd spied this one in Borders ages ago, and waited a good six months for the book to turn up on their shelves. Did I miss anything waiting for it? Not really.
Standard fish out of water, Jenny is in the middle of a breakdown after her divorce, and so popping pills she takes on a new job as the local coroner. One of her first jobs is finding out how the death of a youth at the local care facility, and a girl who appears to have had a heroin overdose may be linked.
Really, I shouldn't have struggled on with so many pages I found myself skipping huge parts in order to finish. Such a shame, when the premise seemed so good and I had waited so long. 1/5
