Trade Review
A refreshingly pacy and lean debut * The Gloss *
Body of Truth, the first crime novel by former state pathologist Marie Cassidy, is good - surprisingly good * Irish Independent *
This novel equals, and arguably surpasses, lots of contemporary crime fiction out there * Sunday Independent *
Those who enjoy their thrillers laced with ... the 'simple' science of forensic pathology will undoubtedly enjoy [this] * Irish Times *
A very competent crime thriller * Sunday Business Post *
