The Corpse Had a Familiar Face Book Review Summary

For many years, Buchanan was police reporter for the Miami Herald -- in an exciting part of the country for her line of work, which featured more than 5,000 corpses and brought her the Pulitzer. Her engaging and entertaining account relates many of the big stories she worked on, and the lessons learned: "A corpse has no privacy"; "I often joke that my job keeps me single and celibate"; "You should not pity most criminals, either; tie a tourniquet on your heart"; and the case that taught her ALWAYS to ask what the victim was wearing.
