Je remercie Netgalley et Crooked Lane Books pour ce partenariat.
J'ai été de suite attiré par la couverture on y voit Emily de dos qui porte un manteau rouge.
Tout commence lorsqu'Emily médecin légiste est appelée pour aider car il y a une mort suspecte, comme tout débutant les premiers corps sont difficiles à voir.
Elle doit retourner à Freeport qu'elle avait fuit dix ans auparavant son père médecin légiste aussi ayant fait une crise cardiaque massive. Elle va devoir faire équipe avec Nick le shériff et ancien amour. Elle va découvrir que Julie à été assassinée.
Une histoire qui tient la route, émouvante, captivante remplie de suspens et rebondissements. Le personnage d'Emily est attachant, hâte de lire un autre livre de cette auteure qui à du potentiel.

Résumé
Summoned from her promising surgical career first to her estranged father's bedside, and then his post as medical examiner when his small town needs urgent help with a suspicious death, Emily Hartford discovers home is where the bodies are in this pitch perfect mystery debut.
Recently engaged and deeply ensconced in her third year of surgical residency in Chicago, Emily Hartford gets a shock when she’s called home to Freeport, MI, the small town she fled a decade ago after the death of her mother. Her estranged father, the local medical examiner, has had a massive heart attack and Emily is needed urgently to help with his recovery.
Not sure what to expect, Emily races home, blowing the only stoplight at the center of town and getting pulled over by her former high school love, now Sheriff, Nick Larson. At the hospital, she finds her father in near total denial of the seriousness of his condition. He insists that the best thing Emily can do to help him is to take on the autopsy of a Senator’s teen daughter whose sudden, unexplained death has just rocked the sleepy town.
Reluctantly agreeing to help her father and Nick, Emily gets down to work, only to discover that the girl was murdered. The autopsy reminds her of her many hours in the morgue with her father when she was a young teen—a time which inspired her love of medicine. Before she knows it, she’s pulled deeper into the case and closer to her father and to Nick—much to the dismay of her big city fiance. When a threat is made to Emily herself, she must race to catch the killer before he strikes again in The Coroner, expertly written and sharply plotted, perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell and Julia Spencer Fleming.
